Abstract :
In this paper we discuss different approaches to frequency stabilize extended cavity diode lasers to I/sub 2/-Doppler-free absorption signals. This includes the use of intra-cavity/extra-cavity absorption cells, and application of either third harmonic detection techniques or frequency-modulation spectroscopy.
