Hyperfine structure of iodine has been studied at 612 nm by the technique of saturated absorption in an iodine cell placed in a He--Ne laser modified to operate at this wavelength. The most interesting feature of the laser is the existence of strong inverted Lamb dips at a very low vapor pressure, which provides very good short term frequency stability. Some factors which limit the reproducibility of the device are also investigated.
