Abstract
Recently, there has been substantial work on absolute frequency stabilization of semiconductor lasers to excited state transitions in noble gas discharge lamps using the optogalvanic effect.1,2 This method is attractive for lightwave systems3,4 because the full power of the laser can pass through the discharge used for stabilization and on to the system while suffering only a few percent loss.
