Abstract

The standing‐wave saturation resonances are observed by subjecting the CO₂ absorber gas to the standing‐wave 10.6‐μ laser field and detecting the change induced in the entire 4.3‐μ (001) → (000) spontaneous emission band as the laser frequency is tuned within the Doppler profile of a specific 10.6‐μ transition. Long‐term stabilization on any oscillating transition is achieved.
