Abstract :
A relative frequency stabilization technique using optical phase locking of miniature diode pumped Nd:YAG ring lasers is described. The master laser is RF phase modulated with a modulation index up to 7.4, and slave lasers are locked up to 21 master laser sidebands with a frequency stability better than 3 kHz.<>
