1. A programmable multiwavelength laser system, comprising:

  • means for simultaneously generating multiwavelength channels from an optical cavity having a laser source and a spatial light modulator(SLM) with liquid crystals; and

    a programmable control loop having a computer connected to the cavity through the spatial light modulator(SLM) for automatically controlling amplitude levels of each of the channels within the optical cavity, wherein the computer adjusts transmission levels of each liquid pixel in the SML to optimize power intensity levels in each output channel.
