Abstract
An electrically tunable semiconductor laser with a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a commercially available laser diode is presented. We tested two types of LCD under strong laser light and, on the basis of the results, selected the supertwist-nematic (STN) LCD with a passive matrix. Tuning is achieved up to 5 nm by moving a single stripe pattern displayed on the LCD. The wavelength shifts in 0.553 nm/cell, which agrees well with the calculated resolution derived from the diffraction grating formula. Dual-wavelength oscillation is also achieved up to a wavelength separation of 4.62 nm using the double stripe pattern.
