Abstract :
We have observed saturated absorption of the v/sub 1/+v/sub 3/ band of /sup 13/C/sub 2/H/sub 2/ using an intracavity cell. These narrow lines can be expected to use as a frequency standard at 1550 nm region. We also demonstrate it is possible to saturate a weak molecular transition using a fiber amplifier.
