We stabilized the frequency and power of a high voltage excited CW CO2 laser on the peak of the Doppler broadened gain curve using the photoacoustic effect generated from the laser itself. The photoacoustic signal is directly coupled from an radio frequency discharge chamber via a capacitor microphone into a detector and a lock-in stabilizer. The frequency stability is estimated to be better then 1.2×10/sup -7/ at the transition P(20) line. The stabilized output power variation was reduced to from 77 % to 3.3 %.
