description PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the thermo-optical effect of an optical path in an optical device and system. SOLUTION: The thermo-optical effect of the optical path in the temperature range ΔT is controlled by determining the minimum sensitivity (FOM: figure of merit) of the optical path and incorporating a crystal material which can satisfy the conditions designated by the FOM into the path. The crystal material has a specified coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) and specified refractive index (n) so that the material becomes extremely transparent at the wavelength λof radiation propagating the path and the CTE and dn/dT are matched with each other to obtain sufficient FOM in the range ΔT. In one example, the CTE and dn/dT of the etalon compensate with each other to discriminate frequencies with substantially no temperature sensitivity in the range ΔT. The crystal material consists of LiCaAlF6 in a preferable example of the optical etalon.
