ABSTRACT:
In a system comprising a laser diode and means for stabilizing the wavelength of a primary beam of light emitted by said laser diode said means comprise a controller for controlling the current supplied to the laser diode under the control of sensor means, which are responsive to the instantaneous ambient conditions and operating parameters, a beam splitter, which is disposed in the path of said primary beam and arranged to divert from said primary beam a partial beam to measuring means, which comprise a diffraction grating and associated focusing optical means and are arranged to direct said partial beam onto photodetector means and to form on said photodetector means a light spot having a position and/or size depending on the instantaneous wavelength of said primary beam. The photodetector means serve to detect deviations of the light spot from a desired position, which is associated with the rated wavelength of said primary beam. The output signals of said photodetector means are optionally converted and are used as control signals for the controller. A laser interferometer is also disclosed, in which the polarization of the primary beam is used in the generation of the measured-value signals.
