Abstract
A locking scheme for optimizing the length of an optical cavity contai ning a birefringent crystal is presented. This scheme is a variation o n the well known polarization sensitive locking scheme. The birefringe nce of the crystal introduces a polarization dependent phase differenc e which can be used to generate a locking signal. The principles of th e locking system are described and verified experimentally. (C) 1997 E lsevier Science B.V.
