%0 Journal Article %T Stabilization of diode-laser frequency to atomic transitions %A Wojciech Gawlik %A Jerzy Zachorowski %J Optica Applicata %D 2004 %I %X Different methods of stabilization of diode lasers are reviewed with the emphasis on stabilization to atomic transitions. The stabilization methods to Doppler-broadened and Doppler-free resonances are presented. A novel method of stabilization using the saturated dichroism of atomic vapours is described. An example of stability transfer from the diode laser onto the reference Fabry¨CPerot cavity is presented. %K laser stabilization %K dichroism %U http://www.if.pwr.wroc.pl/~optappl/pdf/2004/no4/optappl_3404p607.pdf
