Abstract
The present invention provides a laser comprising a laser cavity defined by a first reflector and a second reflector. The laser cavity comprising a gain region and an intracavity modulation stage for reducing coherence of the laser output. The intracavity modulation stage comprises a region configured to support a plurality of optical modes. The second reflector is a broadband reflector having a reflectance spectrum configured to support the plurality of optical modes.
