Frequency stabilisation of a two-frequency diode-pumped Er:Yb:glass laser is demonstrated using Doppler-broadened or saturated-absorption lines of 13C2H2. Continuous tunability in the 1530–1550 nm range is obtained. Beat note measurements lead to a frequency accuracy better than 10 kHz for a 10 s response time.
