AWRM is an easy-to-use and low cost calibration solution for tunable lasers. By simply illuminating the input aperture of the AWRM with the beam of the laser subject to calibration, either a digital, analog, or optical output is provided back to the wavelength controller with which to tune the laser device. Accuracy will depend on wavelength and laser type. For conventional tunable semiconductor lasers, typical accuracy of a few picometers will be limited by Doppler/Lorentz broadening. When integrated in more sophisticated configurations involving, for example, saturation spectroscopy, accuracy levels in the femtometer range could be reached.
