The resonant frequency of the piezo you are using is important to know in some situations. For example, if a cavity mirror has a piezo it is important to know the piezo's resonant frequency for locking purposes. Tyler greenGreen discusses this on page 34 in his [http://yavuzlab.physics.wisc.edu/pdfs/green_thesis.pdf thesis].
 
As an example, you might have a setup like the one shown below. Both the laser and the cavity have piezos on them. Each piezo will need to be hooked up to a function generator.
