An error signal, which locks the laser to the desired oscillation frequency, is generated either by dither modulation of the Stark-effect cell voltage or by differential absorption in a pair of Stark-effect cells having their absorption resonances stagger tuned about the desired laser oscillation frequency. The disclosed arrangements are especially suited to stabilization of a waveguide CO2 laser operating on the P(20) 10.6 Mu laser transition. Advantages are the ability to stabilize the laser at any frequency within the laser tuning range and the elimination of undesired frequency modulation on the generated laser beam.，下面是Frequency stabilized laser专利的具体信息内容。
