Abstract :
A scheme of tuning a LEC laser electronically using two acousto-optic cells has been demonstrated. The degree of tuning was small but consistent with simple theory which predicts that a considerable larger tuning range could be obtained by careful selection of appropriate acousto-optic media or by using lenses to magnify the deflection angle obtained
