The Model 200 laser was designed to remedy the complications that arise when using an intra-cavity iodine-stabilized laser for high accuracy interferometric measurements. It boasts the same accuracy and frequency stability as the Model 100 Iodine-Stabilized laser, but with a significant increase in output power and without the presence of frequency modulation. It accomplishes this by frequency stabilizing a second He-Ne laser to an iodine-stabilized laser cavity, effectively transferring the frequency accuracy and stability of the iodine-stabilized laser to the higher power, “offset-locked” laser. For convenience, the two laser cavities are located in a single housing, along with all the optics and electronics needed to stabilize both lasers. The result is a very compact, tightly integrated system. As with the Model 100, the Model 200 laser is completely automatic, allowing unattended operation and use by “non-specialists.” An optional single-mode fiber optic output provides flexibility when integrating the laser into experimental setups – especially non-laboratory applications such as absolute gravimetry.
