Abstract
The authors define some criteria, which enable them to compare different interferometric devices for measuring the wavelength of pulsed single mode lasers. They theoretically compare these wavemeters and they deduce that the plane Fabry-Perot interferometer is the best choice. A method of calibrating this instrument and some experiments for testing its accuracy are presented. Finally, some measurements of the wavelength of pulsed single mode lasers are given.Keywords
