Wj. Lu et al., A PRACTICAL DIRECT-CURRENT DISCHARGE HELIUM ABSORPTION CELL FOR LASERFREQUENCY LOCKING AT 1083 NM, Review of scientific instruments, 67(9), 1996, pp. 3003-3004
We report the construction of a low pressure (similar to 0.5 Torr) hel
ium direct current discharge cell to lock a 1083 nm InGaAs diode laser
to the 2(3)S-2(3)P transition in helium using saturated absorption sp
ectroscopy. The direct current discharge cell has the advantage of bei
ng radio frequency noise free. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
