Characterisation of the Tunable Laser Source
... If the laser cavity is much longer than the wavelength, which is usually the case, more than one wavelength will be emitted. Looking at the spectrum (amplitude versus wavelength) of lasers, each individual spectral laser line is referred to as one mode. This type of laser is known as a Multiple Long ...

Retroreflector
A retroreflector (sometimes called a retroflector or cataphote) is a device or surface that reflects light back to its source with a minimum of scattering. In a retroreflector an electromagnetic wavefront is reflected back along a vector that is parallel to but opposite in direction from the wave's source. The angle of incidence at which the device or surface reflects light in this way is greater than zero, unlike a planar mirror, which does this only if the mirror is exactly perpendicular to the wave front, having a zero angle of incidence.
