Abstract :
A method for widely scanning the frequency of a stabilised semiconductor laser is described. This method utilises the temperature dependence of the resonant frequency of a Fabry-Perot interferometer which is used as a frequency reference. A continuous scanning range of 37 GHz is obtained.
