One of the factors limiting the sensitivity of wavelength modulation experiments is the fringing that is created by inadvertent multiple reflections between parallel optical surfaces in the apparatus. It is shown that the effects of this “etaloning” can be countered by using detection harmonic orders greater than the second. A theoretical basis for the effect is presented and compared with experimental results obtained.
