Comparison of 127I2-stabilized frequency-doubled Nd:YAG lasers at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures.
2003
A frequency comparison was carried out between iodine-stabilized Nd:YAG lasers
at 532 nm from the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, the Centre for
Metrology and Accreditation, the Czech Metrology Institute, and the Bureau National
de Metrologie-Institut National de Metrologie. The frequency differences between
lasers, as well as the frequency reproducibility of each system, were investigated.
Pressure-, modulation-, and power-induced shifts were studied. A frequency
dispersion (1 σ) of 3.5 kHz (6.2 × 10-12 in relative terms) with an
average reproducibility for each laser of the order of 0.4 kHz (7.1 ×
10-13 in relative terms) was observed over the duration of the
comparison. Relative stabilities better than 1 × 10-13 at 1 s were
demonstrated for the third-harmonic systems.
