A laser wavelength meter determines the unknown wavelength of a laser by measuring the phase difference between two orthogonally polarized beams derived from the laser. The orthlogonally polarized beams propagaic along two optical paths of different length as defined, for example, by a polarizing beam splitter or a stepped reflector with a defined step height. An in situ reference laser of known wavelength allows calculation and monitoring of the path difference between the two optical paths.
