Narrow linewidth and high stability of frequency are extremely necessary in modern precision experiments. The frequency of a free running semiconductor laser will drift several GHz per day, far too much to fulfill the demands in atomic and laser physics. In order to overcome this disadvantage, a variety of technologies for frequency stabilization are researched. The experimental realizations of frequency stabilization based on 780nm semiconductor laser are described in detail. Meanwhile, the performance and capabilities of the various frequency stabilization technologies are analyzed.

The good optical transmission of hollow-core photonic crystal fiber and their relative low insertion loss in conventional fiber network gave rise to a new type of all-fiber gas-phase devices. These range from Raman converters as laser sources, compact frequency standard devices for laser frequency control to electromagnetically-induced transparency and saturable absorption for quantum optical devices. Here I report on the performance of these devices and their prospects. IntroductionGas-phase materials have many compelling laser-related applications, for example in high precision frequency measurement[1,2], quantum optics and nonlinear optics [3,4]. Their potential has however not been realized because of the lack of a suitable technology for creating gas cells that guide light in a single transverse mode over long interaction lengths while still offering a high level of integration in a practical and compact set-up or device. This has meant that solid-phase materials are commonly favored in practice, even when their performance is second-best compared to gasphase materials. Here, we report what we believe to be the first all-fiber gas cell which meets these challenges. The novel gas-cell exhibits excellent long-term pressure stability, ultra-high performance, and ease of use. To illustrate the huge potential of this development, we report four different devices: (i) a hydrogen-filled cell for efficient generation of rotational Raman scattering using only quasi-CW laser pulses, (ii) acetylene-filled cells used for absolute frequency locking of diode lasers with a very high signal-to-noise ratio, (iii) an acetylene cell for electromagnetically induced transparency generation and (iv) an acetylene cell for saturable absorption generation. The stable performance of these ultra-compact gas-phase devices makes it feasible for the first time to envisage extremely compact gas-laser devices. Figure 1 shows photographs of such gas cells. They consist of a gas filled hollow-core photonic crystal fibre (HC-PCF) spliced to a conventional optical fibre. The details of the assembly is described in [5]

“…So laser sources that can be tuned to particular atomic transitions are now an important tool in most atomic physics applications [1] . The traditional method [2] of saturated absorption frequency stabilization uses the hyperfine transition frequency of atoms as an available reference standard. The third derivation of the spectrum signal is carried out as an error signal to control the temperature or current of the diode laser which forms a feedback system so as to lock the laser on the transition frequency.…”

In order to comppress the fluctuation of frequency and improve the frequency stability of laser, we demonstrate a wavelength-modulation-locking laser source which has a continuous tuning range around the central wavelength of 852 nm. The system consists of a grating-feedback external cavity diode laser part, an error signal obtaining part and a proportional-integral feedback control part. Two channels are conducted to lock the laser at the hyperfine transition peaks and around the peaks respectively. And the two channels can be switched expediently. When locking at the peaks, the third derivation of the spectrum signal is carried out as an error signal to control the feedback loop. And when locking at the frequency points around the peaks, the output spectrum line is used as the feedback control signal directly. The locking range of the laser frequency is expanded and the fluctuation of the laser is comppressed within the range of 1.15MHz.
