Abstract: A method and system for frequency matching a resonant cavity is disclosed. Light is received in a resonant cavity having at least a first mirror and a second mirror defining a path along which light is reflected. At least the second mirror is actuatable to vary the length of the path of the resonant cavity. An intensity of the light exiting or reflecting from the resonant cavity is monitored, and an error correction is determined. The second mirror is actuated towards a pose relative to the first mirror at which a frequency of the light is in resonance with the length of the path. In this manner, the resonant cavity is frequency matched to the light to maintain the resonant cavity in resonance.
