Abstract
The frequency of the 3.39 μm He-Ne laser was locked to the CH4 saturated absorption line by means of integral-proportional feedback control, i.e., dual feedback control. The frequency modulation was applied by a vibrating mirror placed outside a laser cavity, obtaining a modulation-free laser beam with a stabilized frequency. The long-term stability achieved under integral feedback control was about
, which was further improved to
under dual feedback control. The Allan variance measured by the photomixing technique was
at an average time 100 s.
