Background
The external cavity semiconductor laser has the advantages of wide tunable range, narrow line width, large wavelength coverage range and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of atomic physics, quantum precision measurement and the like. The external cavity extends the laser resonant cavity to the outside of the laser diode, external light oscillation is realized by using an optical feedback element, the cavity length is far longer than the internal cavity formed by the front end surface and the rear end surface of the laser diode, and the laser line width is greatly squeezed. The external cavity semiconductor laser widely adopts a Littrow structure, utilizes the characteristic of blazed grating, the primary diffraction light path returns to form an external cavity with the end face of the laser diode, and the grating is also used as a frequency selection device of the laser.

Chinese patent application No. 201910300590.2 discloses a grating external cavity feedback semiconductor laser and its adjusting method; wherein the adjustment range of the grating is derived from the compression and rebound of the rubber gasket. This approach has two disadvantages: firstly, the rubber pad changes in the horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously during adjustment, so that the laser power output is unstable during frequency adjustment and scanning; secondly, in order to ensure that the grating is adjustable in both directions, the rubber needs to be kept in a compressed state all the time, so that two adjustable directions can be provided through extrusion and relaxation. And when the rubber pad is always under pressure, the service life and consistency of the rubber pad can be influenced.
