Abstract

An active wavelength stabilization and scanning system is described which reduces the dye laser wavelength fluctuation under feedback by detecting the changes in the fringe diameter of a temperature-stabilized Fabry-Perot interferometer with the help of two photodiodes. An estimate of the wavelength drift due to thermal effects is made. Short- and long-term fluctuations in the wavelength, monitored by recording iodine fluorescence are reported. The system response to a sudden external disturbance to the wavelength was studied.
