Abstract

A laser system is provided comprising of a laser source including a laser stabilizing control loop and a laser housing, the laser source producing an output beam. The laser system includes a wavelength selective optical member positioned in the laser housing, the wavelength selective optical member adjusting wavelength and output power of the output beam in response to wavelength or power fluctuations of the laser source due to intrinsic aging of the laser source or due to extrinsic local environmental changes. In some embodiments, the laser system is miniaturized and the wavelength selective optical members supports a zero beam path offset configuration.
