Narrowband Single-Longitudinal-Mode (SLM) lasers are important in a number of applications, including frequency metrology, LIDAR, nonlinear optics, holography, and in optical fiber communications. In recent years, the need for such devices has been embraced by the US Navy, who seek low amplitude and phase-noise devices to enhance low noise-figure RF photonic capabilities for avionic and electronic warfare (EW) applications.
