Abstract
The presence of a foreign gas both shifts and broadens the optical resonance lines of atomic species. The shift effect is of particular interest in the field of semieonductor laser frequency stabilization for coherent optical communication purposes, where atomic resonances can be used to produce optical carriers at precisely defined and long-term stable frequencies.1 Shifting atomic resonances with foreign gases could produce more available channels while preserving the long-term stability.
