Abstract

We present a novel technical approach to build a multiwavelength/superbroadband laser source based on a combination of spectral and spatial domains. This approach provides a direct transformation of spatial domain of the pumping beam into spectral domain of the output oscillation. Several spatially dispersive laser cavities were designed and studied both theoretically and experimentally for optimal spatial to spectral transformation. This spatial to spectral transformation was demonstrated for LiF:F₂⁺** color center laser, single broad-stripe diode laser operating at 660nm and 1560 nm multi-stripe diode laser.
