1. A method for wavelength stabilization of a broadband optical signal having a center wavelength, comprising:

  • generating a first split broadband optical signal and a second split broadband optical signal in response to a wavelength transfer characteristic and said broadband optical signal;

    generating a first split optical reference signal and a second split optical reference signal in response to said wavelength transfer characteristic and a reference optical signal having a reference wavelength;

    determining a broadband power ratio of said first and second split optical signals;

    determining a reference power ratio of said first and second split optical reference signals; and

    determining a difference of said center wavelength and said reference wavelength in response to said broadband power ratio and said reference power ratio.
