Macroscopic crystalline whispering gallery mode resonators (WGMR) can provide the possibility for a whispering gallery type wavemeter (WGTW) in just one monolithic device. The frequency spacings between different resonance frequencies of the WGMR represent a unique fingerprint of the frequency of the exciting laser. We use an electro-optic frequency tuning mechanism to shift the fingerprint of an unknown source with fixed frequency. The accuracy is only limited by the linewidth of resonances. In combination with our experimental resonance frequency analysis [1], this unambiguously reveals the excitation wavelength. For achieving the required temperature stability, we implement a scheme based on the differential shift between differently polarized resonance frequencies of an additional locking laser.
