Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, devices, and/or systems for a tunable
laser are described. An apparatus includes: a tunable laser cavity
including at least three mirrors, at least one filter and a plurality of
crystals, wherein the three mirrors are substantially arranged in a
lambda configuration, the filter includes a birefringent filter and an
etalon, at least one of the crystals comprises a Cologuiriite crystal,
and at least one other of the crystals comprises a nonlinear crystal,
wherein the mirrors, the filter, and the plurality are configured for
providing electromagnetic radiation of an approximately single frequency;
and at least one electromagnetic radiation source being coupled to the
laser cavity, wherein the electromagnetic radiation source is capable of
providing electromagnetic radiation having an approximately particular
wavelength to the laser cavity.
