| Abstract | One method of improving the spectral characteristics of free‐running laser diodes is to use the optical self‐locking to an external confocal Fabry‐Perot resonator. Locking only occurs when the phase of the feedback light is properly adjusted which can be achieved by a piezo mounted mirror located between laser and resonator. We describe a simple, new technique for generating a phase mirror control signal which is based on the observation that the relative intensities of higher order transverse modes excited in a nearly confocal Fabry‐Perot resonator change when the phase mirror is moved. The main theoretical aspects and the experimental realization of this technique are presented including frequency stability measurements with two identical systems. |
