Abstract: The present application is directed to a flexure-type strain relief device and includes a device body having a first surface and at least one support member formed on the device body, at least one fastener receiver may be formed in and traversing through the device body, at least one flex channel formed in and traversing through the device body and configured to be selectively movable in relation to at least one of the first surface of the device body and the support member of the device body, and at least one conduit receiving port formed in the flex channel wherein at least one transverse dimension of the receiving port configured to be selectively adjustable by controllably moving the flex channel thereby applying at least one clamping force to at least one conduit positioned within the receiving port.

Abstract: Tunable external cavity lasers are used in applications such as interferometry, FM spectroscopy, and optical communications equipment testing. Mode hop free high bandwidth frequency modulation operation is desired in a tunable external cavity laser. This application describes new and novel techniques for controlling the output wavelength of a tunable external cavity laser while suppressing mode hop.
