Abstract
The article reviews various aspects of the problem of stabilizing the wavelengths of gas lasers. It describes early techniques as well as the recent methods using saturated absorption that promise an accuracy of 1:1012 or better and which thereby may rival the precision of microwave frequency standards.Keywords
