SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the tuning capabilities of VECSEL (Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) technology, specifically aiming to extend the wavelength tuning ranges from the current 3-8% to 10-15%. The current tuning performance includes a 33nm tuning range near 972nm, an 80nm range near 1980nm, and a 156nm range near 2000nm. The inquiry seeks clarification on the meaning of the 33nm tuning near 972nm, which refers to the deviation from the nominal "tuned" wavelength.

Tunable wavelength operation will prove important for many VECSEL applications.
The target here will be to extend the relative wavelength tuning ranges from the
currently demonstrated 3–8%, 33nm tuning near 972nm , 80nm tuning near
1980nm, and 156nmtuning near 2000nm, to the 10–15% level

In this paragraph i want to know whta is mean by 33nm tuning near 972nm
 
Science news on Phys.org
I think it is the deviation from the "tuned" wavelength.
