  • Abstract
    The frequency of the 3.39 μm He-Ne laser was locked to the CH4saturated 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 \\pm1.1 \\times 10^{-11} , which was further improved to \\pm1.35 \\times 10^{-12} under dual feedback control. The Allan variance measured by the photomixing technique was 1.77 \\times 10^{-12} at an averaging time 100 s.
