Abstract
Wavelength stability of an optical oscillator has been enhanced by feedback from an external position-sensing detector to control the position or tilt of an intracavity optical element, such as a mirror. The wavelength stability results from stabilization of the intracavity beam position relative to an aperture in the oscillator. The wavelength selectivity of the aperture results from incorporation of a dispersive element in the oscillator cavity that produces a mapping of wavelength to beam position at the aperture.
