Nj. Bowring et al., FREQUENCY STABILIZATION OF A 0.78-MU-M GAALAS LASER-DIODE TO ACETYLENE ABSORPTION-LINES, Measurement science & technology, 5(10), 1994, pp. 1313-1316
A GaAlAs single mode laser diode operated in the 0.78 mu m region has
been stabilized to the spectral peak of an overtone absorption in acet
ylene with a long-term frequency stability of 0.8 MHz. This represents
a hundred fold improvement in the performance provided by the current
and temperature control of the laser diode.
