Continuously tunable modulation scheme for precision control of optical cavities with variable detuning

We present a scheme for locking optical cavities with arbitrary detuning by many linewidths from resonance using an electro-optic modulator that can provide arbitrary ratios of amplitude-to-phase modulation. We demonstrate our scheme on a Fabry-Perot cavity, and show that a well-behaved linear error...
