Section IV explains a new approach to high resolution spectroscopy based on various kinds of saturation effects. Some of the experiments are performed inside the laser resonator, which implies the presence of coupling phenomena between the absorbing molecules under investigation and the laser oscillation itself. These feedback effects can be used for high-precision frequency stabilization and to measure frequency shifts and line profiles with an accuracy never... [Pg.3]
