Stabilizing Lasers by Analyzing Phase Noise

External cavity diode lasers mode hop unexpectedly and often. Based on previous measurements by others in the field, we have theorized that a substantial amount of phase noise occurs when a laser is about to switch modes. We are creating a system which monitors phase noise and makes the necessary adjustments to maintain laser stability.
