TLDR
A compensating electronic delay line in the crossover network provides a near-ideal transducer response while keeping the voltage across the electro-optic crystal away from the amplifier limits.Abstract:
We describe an external dye-laser frequency stabilizer that combines an acousto-optic frequency shifter with a fast electro-optic phase modulator. A compensating electronic delay line in the crossover network provides a near-ideal transducer response while keeping the voltage across the electro-optic crystal away from the amplifier limits.read more

Laser frequency stabilization by polarization spectroscopy of a reflecting reference cavity
Theodor W. Hänsch,B. Couillaud +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a linear polarizer or Brewster plate is placed inside the reference cavity, so that the reflected light acquires a frequency-dependent elliptical polarization, which can provide the error signal for electronic frequency stabilization without any need for modulation techniques.
