Laser frequency stabilization using a transfer interferometer

Abstract

We present a laser frequency stabilization system that uses a transfer interferometer to stabilize slave lasers to a reference laser. Our implementation uses off-the-shelf optical components along with microcontroller-based digital feedback, and offers a simple, flexible and robust way to stabilize multiple laser frequencies to better than 1 MHz.
