Abstract
Wavelength lockers, which monitor the wavelength drift of a laser's beam due to aging, are tunable to adjust for manufacturing misalignments between its various optical components. Tuning is accomplished by adjusting the position of a collimating lens using a flexure. Adjusting the lens position changes the angle of incidence of a monitored beam relative to a fixed filter and detector and avoids the challenging manufacturing task of rotating the filter and detector to achieve the same result.
