Abstract

Summary form only given. A compact, rugged, and commercially viable laser wavelength stabilization technique for dense WDM fibre communication applications was demonstrated. Production units were shown to be environmentally stable and exhibited very small wavelength shifts over extended aging periods. We also showed that the technique can be used for both single and multiple wavelengths applications.
