An external-cavity wavelength-swept laser, characterized by its exceptional temporal coherence and extensive tuning range, serves as a crucial light source for cutting-edge fields such as fiber sensing, lidar, and spectroscopy. The burgeoning growth of optical communication technology has escalated the demand for lasers with narrow linewidth and broad tuning range, thereby catalyzing the swift advancement of external-cavity wavelength-swept diode lasers and their diverse applications. This article comprehensively presents the configurations and operating principles of these lasers, and provides an in-depth review of their development status, specifically focusing on those with narrow linewidth and wide tuning range. The aim is to offer a valuable reference for researchers involved in the development and application of wavelength-swept lasers.

The external-cavity diode laser is advantageous in terms of low noise, high side-mode suppression ratio, high temperature stability, simple structure, and low cost, which has been the preferred scheme to realize wide-tuning and narrow-linewidth characteristics. Thus, it has been widely used in optical communication, lidar, environmental monitoring, spectral analysis, optical coherence tomography, and other frontier fields. Herein, we introduce the technical scheme and review the development status of wide-tuning and narrow-linewidth external-cavity diode lasers in detail. Primarily, the structure, working principles, and performance characteristics of external-cavity diode lasers are deeply analyzed according to different structures. The structural characteristics, key technologies, optical performance and application fields of state-of-theart studies in recent years are discussed. Finally, the challenges and potential development prospects of wide-tuning and narrow-linewidth external-cavity diode lasers are analyzed and discussed.
