Abstract
A method for frequency stabilization of a semiconductor laser having a coupled, external ring resonator, which stabilizes the emission frequency of the semiconductor utilizes a stabilizing of the free spectral range and the resonant frequencies of the ring resonator in order to correct for changes due to temperature fluctuations. To accomplish this, a shift in resonant frequency from a predetermined value and a shift in the free spectral range from a rated value is compensated by utilizing a phase modulator to act on the resonator to shift the frequencies back to the predetermined frequencies.
