Line shape measurements of rubidium 5S-7S two-photon transition
We report the use of a digital lock to measure the line profile and center frequency of rubidium 5S-7S two-photon transitions with a cw laser referenced to an optical frequency comb. The narrow, two-photon transition, 5S-7S (760 nm), insensitive to first-order in a magnetic field, is a promising candidate for frequency reference.
Absolute frequency and isotope shift measurements of mercury 1S0–3P1 transition
We report the measurement of the absolute frequencies of the 6s2 1S0−6s6p 3P1 transition (253.7 nm) and the relevant isotope shifts in five mercury isotopes 198Hg, 199Hg, 200Hg, 202Hg, and 204Hg. The Doppler-free saturated absorption measurements were performed in an atomic vapour cell at room temperature with a four-harmonic generated (FHG) continuous-wave (cw) laser digitally locked to the atomic transition. It was referenced with a femtosecond optical frequency comb synchronized to the frequency of local representation of the International Atomic Time to provide traceability to the SI second by the 330 km-long stabilized fibre optical link. The transition frequencies and isotope shi…
Absolute frequency measurement of rubidium 5S-7S two-photon transitions.
We report the absolute frequency measurements of rubidium 5S-7S two-photon transitions with a cw laser digitally locked to an atomic transition and referenced to an optical frequency comb. The narrow, two-photon transition, 5S-7S (760 nm) insensitive to first order in a magnetic field, is a promising candidate for frequency reference. The performed tests yield the transition frequency with accuracy better than reported previously.
