Reiser, C; Lykke, K R

We have constructed and tested a vacuum-spaced Fizeau wedge wavemeter that is suitable for measuring the wavelength of pulsed or continuous-wave lasers over the range of 630 nm to 200 nm. A Lasertechnics Model 100 Fizeau wavemeter was modified for ultraviolet operation and demonstrated an accuracy of 1.6 parts in 10/sup 5/ at 248 nm. Extensive computer modeling of the wavemeter has provided optimized design parameters for an improved unit. 9 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs.
