    Abstract: The present invention relates to an approach to locking the output wavelength of a laser that uses an etalon having non-parallel surfaces. Under this approach, the non-parallel etalon is formed from a readily available, low cost optical component, and may include an etalon with a wedged shape or with at least one curved surface. This approach offers significant advantages over the use of a planar etalon. It provides two degrees of freedom in alignment of the device, and so both the absolute wavelength and the spacing between the interference fringes can be independently adjusted. It also reduces the cost and difficulty of assembly, since it utilizes standard optical parts with wide tolerances. The invention may be used within a standard laser package. The invention also permits the laser to be tuned to a precise operating wavelength by setting various tuning signals according to values stored in memory.

    Abstract: Scanning based wavelength measurement systems which are suitable for both localised and distributed WDM, High Density WDM, and coherent systems are based around the use of a fixed cavity Fabry-Perot Etalon which when the output of a tuneable laser is passed through it produces a number of reference equispaced transmission maxima. These maxima are used in a Scanning Heterodyne or Scanning Filter based Spectrometer for detection of the wavelength position of the transmitter.

    Abstract: A compact wavelength monitoring and control assembly for a narrow band (i.e., laser) source is provided, comprising two narrow bandpass, wavelength selective transmission filter elements of Fabry-Perot structure through which two separate collimated beams from a laser source are directed onto two photodetectors. The spacing of the multiple transmission maxima for one etalon is chosen to match that of the desired set of frequencies to be used for locking purposes. The spacing of the transmission maxima for the second etalon is used, in combination with a dielectric filter, to generate a wavelength fiducial to denote an absolute frequency. The spacing of the second etalon is chosen to be much wider than the frequency grid etalon. A control circuit processes the simultaneously acquired signals from the two detectors as the laser wavelength is varied. The device functions as an optical wavelength discriminator in which the detectors convert optical energy to current (or voltage) for a feedback loop for controlling the laser source. Any one of a large number of discrete, predetermined wavelengths may be chosen for locking using the same device. The system is compact and may be packaged within the same temperature controlled laser assembly for maximum performance and minimum circuit board space requirements.

    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, there is provided a device (2) and a method for measuring a wavelength for a laser device. The device (2) for measuring a wavelength for a laser device includes: a first optical path assembly and a second optical path assembly. The first optical path assembly and the second optical path assembly constitute a laser wavelength measurement optical path. The second optical path assembly includes: an FP etalon assembly (11) and an optical classifier (13). The homogenized laser beam passes through the FP etalon assembly (11) to generate an interference fringe. The optical classifier (13) is arranged after the FP etalon assembly (11) in the laser wavelength measurement optical path, and configured to deflect the laser beam passing through the FP etalon assembly (11). The FP etalon assembly (11) allows two FP etalons (FP1, FP2) to share the same optical path for an interference imaging, and therefore a compact structure having a small volume, a simple design, and a high stability are achieved. In cooperation with the optical classifier (13), a precise measurement for a laser wavelength may be achieved, and at the same time a wavelength measurement range is large. It is suitable for an online measurement for a laser wavelength and a corresponding closed-loop control feedback.
