Optical fringe reduction technique for FM laser spectroscopy

Abstract

A simple fringe reduction method for FM diode laser spectroscopy is discussed. The fringes can be effectively suppressed by using a modulation frequency that is an integral multiple of the free spectral range of the fringes. The technique is experimentally confirmed by two-tone FM spectroscopy of water vapor absorption lines. A factor of 20 fringe reduction is observed.
