Abstract
A theoretical study of frequency locking laser oscillators using an intracavity four-wave interaction is discussed. An experimental demonstration that successfully locked two CW dye lasers using this concept was performed, along with intracavity four-wave mixing studies, with sodium vapor serving as the nonlinear (mixing) element.<>
