Abstract
An extended-cavity 1.5-mu m semiconductor laser was frequency stabiliz ed to saturated-absorption lines of acetylene. Its long-term frequency stability is of the order of 10(-12), with a reproducibility of +/-10 kHz. Using the lines of C2H2 or HCN, we could obtain such a high stab ility with the same laser at many wavelengths covering the 1.51-1.56-m u m band.
