Abstract
We demonstrate a nanometric sensor based on feedback interferometry in a distributed feedback (DFB) laser by using a measurement of either the optical frequency or laser voltage. We find that in an optimal range of optical feedback, the sensor operates reliably down to an extrapolated 12 nm; for the sensor demonstrated here at , this provides a minimum detectible displacement of .
