  • Laser wavelength control arrangement and method
    Patent number: 7242701
    Abstract: Wavelength control and stabilization of a laser is achieved by a practical, inexpensive, and accurate technique adapted for most optical transmission system applications by a method involving a laser characterization phase and a laser wavelength control and stabilization phase. This technique is applicable to both single mode lasers and multimode lasers. It is especially useful in those applications where the desired laser output power can vary over a wide range, including relatively low power above the lasing threshold.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 15, 2005
    Date of Patent: July 10, 2007
    Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.
    Inventors: Bernd Bollenz, Konrad Czotscher, Dieter Werner
