South African frequency standard through digital diode laser stabilisation to a sub-doppler rovibrational UNE of acetylene

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsConference proceedingpeer-review

Abstract

To cater for the needs of industry the CSIR-NML has developed a primary optical frequency standard. The frequency standard is based on a technique of locking a diode laser's output wavelength to an absorption line of acetylene at a known pressure. These absorption lines are a fundamental characteristic of acetylene.
