In a stabilized laser system, an output of a desired wavelength is generated.
Each of a plurality of n lasers, which, while emitting light and having a preselected
portion thereof fed back thereto, causes the fed back portion to be amplified and
shifted in wavelength in a first direction which is spaced apart from the center
wavelength of the feedback signal. A feedback stabilization arrangement is coupled
to output ports of the plurality of n lasers for generating a feedback signal having
a wavelength spectrum peaking at a wavelength shifted in an opposite direction
to the first direction generated by the lasers in response to the feedback signal
so as to provide an output signal at the output of the stabilized laser system
having a wavelength spectrum that peaks essentially at the desired wavelength.
A reflector is located at a predetermined signal round-trip time delay distance
from the feedback stabilization arrangement. The reflector receives the output
signal from the feedback stabilization arrangement and passes a first portion thereof
therethrough, and reflects a remaining second portion back to the feedback stabilization
arrangement as a secondary feedback signal that contributes to each of the plurality
of n laser sources being set in a stable coherence collapse mode.
