Abstract
According to various embodiments, a system for stabilizing operation of semiconductor laser frequency combs via optical feedback is disclosed. The system includes an external cavity having a beam-splitter, polarizer, and mirror or partially reflective element mounted on a translational stage. The external cavity and a laser facet of the semiconductor laser form an external optical resonator for coupling light to a laser cavity.
