Apparatus for stabilizing an output wavelength of a laser assembly (80), including a plurality of optical elements (88, 92, 97, 96) coupled together so as to form a laser cavity resonating in a single mode dependent upon an optical length of the cavity, and an optical length changer (86) which varies an optical length of at least one of the optical elements so as to vary accordingly the optical length of the cavity. The apparatus further includes a detector (91) which monitors the output of the laser assembly responsive to the variation in the optical length of the at least one of the optical elements. There is also included a stabilizer (93) which responsive to the measured output from the detector supplies a control signal to the optical length changer to control an optical length of at least one of the optical elements, so that the cavity resonates stably at the output wavelength in the single mode. |
