Wavelength calibration system for diode laser

Abstract

Currently the diode laser is widely used in the field of optoelectronics, especially in precise measurement based on laser-interferometry. Laser wavelength stability is a property that critical to the measurement. Since the laser wavelength is easy to be influenced by the environment and drive current, real-time monitoring and calibration of diode laser wavelength is extraordinary important for interferometry. In this paper, a real-time wavelength monitoring and calibration system for diode laser based interference measurement were developed. The experiment system was built and conducted to verify the feasibility of the system.
