Abstract
A wide band electro-optic modulator is presented which allows the frequency calibration of Brillouin spectra over the frequency range from a few MHz u p to approximate to 40 GHz, a range spanning Brillouin light scattering fro m condensed matter. Measurements of both frequency and the linewidth of Bri llouin peaks relative to longitudinal acoustic modes of water using the ele ctro-optic modulator as a frequency reference are presented.
