Abstract
Successful application of intracavity spectroscopy is based on its high sensitivity and linearity. Unfortunately a number of experiments revealed recently nonlinearities of intracavity measurements appearing as complex asymmetric line shapes, sometimes with spectral condensation on one or both wings of an absorption line. We found that this spectral condensation is a result of phase lccking of mode groups near the absorption line. Mode locking originates from the interaction of the laser light with a strong inhomogeneously broadened absorber.
