Abstract
An improved method for stabilizing a frequency-quadrupled 214.5-nm tunable diode laser
system is reported. Improvements to the method include a homemade logic circuit and the use of a
Fabry-Perot optical spectrum analyzer as a transfer cavity. Lasers locked with this method exhibit
megahertz-level frequency stability measured with an optical frequency comb referenced to a cesium
atomic standard. The laser can be locked for hours to days, depending on experiment requirements.
Being relatively inexpensive, stable, and robust, the control method can be applied to stabilizing
essentially all lasers of deep ultraviolet wavelengths.
