Stabilization of diode-laser frequency to atomic transitions

Wojciech Gawlik, Jerzy Zachorowski

Keywords

laser stabilization, dichroism

Abstract

Different methods of stabilization of diode lasers are reviewed with the emphasis on stabilization to atomic transitions. The stabilization methods to Doppler-broadened and Doppler-free resonances are presented. A novel method of stabilization using the saturated dichroism of atomic vapours is described. An example of stability transfer from the diode laser onto the reference Fabry–Perot cavity is presented.
