Stabilization of internal-mirror He--Ne lasers

OSTI ID:5501031
Simultaneous frequency and amplitude stabilization of a commercial internal-mirror He--Ne laser by a new simple method is reported. In this method, the back beam intensity of one polarization of the orthogonally polarized modes is fed back as a heater current to control the cavity length of the laser. The relative frequency stability and amplitude stability achieved are, respectively, +- 2.5 x 10/sup -9/ and +- 0.13% over a period of 1 h.
