Abstract
Two identical diode-pumped bulk Er:Yb:glass lasers, operating at 1533- nm wavelength, have been locked independently to the P(13) vibrational -rotational line of an acetylene molecule. A long-term frequency stabi lity over a 4-h period of better than 1.5 MHz and a short-term laser l inewidth narrower than 50 kHz have been obtained by measurement of the beat note between the two lasers.
