Global Oscillations at Low Frequencies (GOLF) is an instrument to study the line-of-sight velocity of the solar photosphere, to be flown on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) satellite in 1995. It uses a sodium vapor cell in resonance scattering mode, in order to measure the absolute Doppler shift of the solar sodium absorption lines. We detail laboratory tests to determine the performance of the cell built for the experiment. The results are in good agreement with numerical simulations of the resonance processes. As a final result, we can conclude that the level of performance required for the flight instrument will be obtained.
