The improvement of the performance of a 633-nm He-Ne laser stabilized by saturated absorption in iodine, which results from heating the iodine cell is described. A simple modification of the laser which permits frequency-stabilized operation at two other visible wavelengths which may be useful for interferometry is also reported.
