摘要：

Avoiding laser frequency drifts is a key issue in many atomic physics experiments. Several techniques have been developed to lock the laser frequency using sub-Doppler dispersive atomic lineshapes as error signals in a feedback loop. We propose here a two-beam technique that uses nonlinear properties of an atomic vapor around sharp resonances to produce sub-Doppler dispersivelike lineshapes that can be used as error signals. Our simple and robust technique has the advantage of not needing either modulation or magnetic fields. (C) 2012 Optical Society of America
