  • Abstract
    We propose a novel method of stabilizing laser oscillation frequency that uses a sub-Doppler spectrum of atoms in a thin vapor cell. An extended-cavity diode laser is frequency-locked to a hyperfine component of the Cs D2 line. Frequency stability σy of 6.6×10-11 has been achieved at the averaging time of 5.6 s
