摘要
A locking scheme for optimizing the length of an optical cavity containing a birefringent crystal is presented. This scheme is a variation on the well known polarization sensitive locking scheme. The birefringence of the crystal introduces a polarization dependent phase difference which can be used to generate a locking signal. The principles of the locking system are described and verified experimentally. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
