A method of frequency and power stabilization for an internal-mirror He-Ne laser using the secondary beat frequency between the three longitudinal modes is presented. Frequency and power fluctuation was ±1 MHz (2 parts in 109) and ±0.10% over 10 000 s, respectively. The square-root Allan variance between the laser stabilized in this study and the iodine stabilized He-Ne laser was 5×10−11 at average time of τ=1 s. Furthermore, we could obtain the output power of 2 mW in a single longitudinal mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
