Hi,In the 5065 and most others, the light intensity is not stabilized. It should not be too hard to regulate the Rb lamp amplitude and servo it to light intensity from the detector. Didn't Poul-Henning check this?Cheers,Magnus

ButI remember a few people talking about compensating the 5065for pressure sensitivity. I also recommend having a look at Nil's paper[2], which discussesthe placment of the whole cell in hermetically sealed box forpressure stability and notes that there is a residual barometricpressure shift related to temperature changes. The paper containsalso a lot of pointers of what to look for, for additional sourcesof instability in Rb vapor cells. Especially note that light shift,ie the frequency shift due to changes in light intensity are themajor source of instability (as noted in many other papers).
