Abstract(in English) Recently, the compact and highly coherent laser light source is required to be developed for the use in the laser interferometers on the artificial satellite. The semiconductor laser is a promising candidate of these light sources, but there is the defect that the oscillation frequency varies with the change of driving current and atmospheric temperature. Therefore we are using the atomic absorption line as a frequency reference, and stabilize the oscillation frequency of the semiconductor laser. We describe the oscillation frequency stabilization in which we used the magneto-optic effect for obtaining the error signal for the stabilization without directly modulating the injection current of the laser diode, i.e., without broadening the oscillation width of the diode laser. We tried to improve the frequency stability by reducing the temperature fluctuation using a permanent magnet instead of the electromagnet for obtaining the Faraday effect.
