Abstract:
1. A tunable diode laser system with an external resonator in Littrow configuration comprising: (a) an optical lattice; (b) a laser diode emitting a light beam diffracted on said optical lattice; (c) a support element holding said optical lattice; (d) an actuator for changing position of said optical lattice; and (e) a plurality of linkages; wherein the support element comprises a base body and a carrier, said optical lattice being arranged on said carrier, said actuator acting on said carrier and resting against said base body, and said carrier being connected to said base body via said linkages so that a linear deflection of the actuator is transformed into a rotation of the carrier in a plane of the light beam and a center of rotation lies outside the linkages and outside the base body.
