Abstract
Frequency-modulation (FM) techniques1 have been widely recognized as a valuable tool in highresolution high-sensitivity laser spectroscopy.2 In a typical FM spectroscopic absorption experiment, a single-frequency ωc laser is phase-modulated at radio frequency ωrf by an electrooptic modulator (EOM) generating two sidebands at ωc ± ωrf. The sidebands are absorbed differentially by a sample with narrow absorption features converting the laser phase modulation into amplitude modulation which is detected with standard heterodyne techniques.
