چکیده
Accurate and traceable length metrology is employed by laser frequency stabilization. This paper describes a laser frequency stabilization technique as a secondary standard with a fractional frequency stability of 5.2x10(-10) with 2 mW of power, suitable for practical applications. The feedback stabilization is driven by an intrinsic mixed mode signal, caused by nonlinear optical phenomena with adjacent modes. The mixed mode signals are described theoretically and experimentally verified.

Frequency stabilization and measurements of 543 nm HeNe lasers
In this paper we report our investigations on the frequency stabilization and frequency measurements of 543 nm HeNe laser. It contains following four dierent works. (1) Using a metal laser tube we have built an iodine-stabilized 543 nm HeNe laser by the Frequency-Modulation (FM) spectroscopy. The signal-to-noise ratio of the hyper®ne spectrum reached 2 ́ 10 at 1 s sampling time. (2) We have bu...
متن کاملAbsolute frequency measurement of the In+ clock transition with a mode-locked laser.
The absolute frequency of the In(+) 5s(2) (1)S(0)5s5p (3)P(0) clock transition at 237 nm was measured with an accuracy of 1.8 parts in 10(13). Using a phase-coherent frequency chain, we compared the (1)S(0)(3)P(0) transition with a methane-stabilized HeNe laser at 3.39 microm, which was calibrated against an atomic cesium fountain clock. A frequency gap of 37 THz at the fourth harmonic of the H...
متن کاملCompact, Ti:sapphire-based, methane-stabilized optical molecular frequency comb and clock.
A compact optical clock and frequency comb system is presented, based on a 1 GHz octave-spanning Ti:sapphire laser referenced to the F2(2)(P(7),v3) optical transition in methane at 3.39 microm. The reference methane transition is accessed by a stabilized HeNe laser in a compact transportable format. The output from the octave-spanning Ti:sapphire laser is used to generate a mid-IR comb at the r...
متن کاملAnalysis of Frequency Leakage in Different Optical Paths of Nano-Metrology Systems Based on Frequency-Path Models
The drawing of frequency-path (F-P) models of optical beams is an approach for nonlinearity analysis in nano-metrology systems and sensors based on the laser interferometers. In this paper, the frequency-path models of four nano-metrology laser interferometry systems are designed, analyzed and simulated, including ...
متن کاملWidely tunable laser frequency offset lock with 30 GHz range and 5 THz offset.
We demonstrate a simple and versatile method to greatly extend the tuning range of optical frequency shifting devices, such as acousto-optic modulators (AOMs). We use this method to stabilize the frequency of a tunable narrow-band continuous-wave (CW) laser to a transmission maximum of an external Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) with a tunable frequency offset. This is achieved through a servo...
