Helium-neon laser stabilized on iodine: design and performance.
A helium-neon laser operating at 633 nm was frequency stabilized on a hyperfine component of (127)I(2) with saturated absorption. The stability achieved was 2.5 x 10(-12) at an averaging time of 400 sec. The frequency was reproducible to 5 x 10(-11).
