We have improved the frequency stabilization system of a semiconductor laser, which uses a Fabry-Perot etalon as a frequency reference, by controlling the etalon spectrum using the Rb absorption line. Because the stabilization system using the etalon has a wide control range but a defect in its long-term stability, we combined the etalon system with the atomic absorption system, which can provide the control signal for the long-term stabilization. This paper reports an experiment using the saturated absorption spectroscopy of the Rb absorption line to obtain the control signal for the etalon and then to improve the frequency stability of the semiconductor laser. |
