Bench based integrated wavelength locker

摘要

A wavelength monitor includes: a splitter on an optics block dividing an input beam into a first portion and a second portion; a first detector and a second detector; a wavelength selective element in an optical path of one of the first and second portions before a respective detector; and an optical bench on which the splitter, the first and second detectors, and the wavelength selective element are mounted. The optical bench may include a hole through which an application beam, separate from the first and second portions, is to pass. The optical bench may include a reflective surface below an active area of the detectors for directing the light onto the active areas.
