Optische Etalonanordnung

A control system for an etalon arrangement 4, in an optical transmission system involves applying a dither to a laser 1 upstream of the arrangement, monitoring the output of the arrangement, and using a control means 3 to lock the laser frequency to the etalon arrangement response, or vice versa.

Zusammenfassung:	A control system for an etalon arrangement 4, in an optical transmission system involves applying a dither to a laser 1 upstream of the arrangement, monitoring the output of the arrangement, and using a control means 3 to lock the laser frequency to the etalon arrangement response, or vice versa. The control means operates on the basis of a ratio of derivatives of the monitored output with respect to wavelength, to enable locking to a point on the response curve, independent of power variations.
