Abstract—A method for estimating the stability of emission parameters of external cavity diode lasers to mechanical impacts in the audio frequency range is proposed and tested. Comparison results of lasers with a diffraction grating and with an intracavity interference filter are presented. Features in the response of the laser emission frequency to an external acoustic perturbation are shown.
