Abstract
An optical frequency analyzer for measuring an optical frequency spectrum with high accuracy, high resolving power and high stability by heterodyne detecting the incident light with the aid of a local oscillator, wherein the local oscillator comprises an optical frequency synthesizer/sweeper or a marker signal attached tunable laser. The optical frequency analyzer can be modified to measure the incident light itself as the object of measurement or light emerging from the object of measurement can be the incident light.
