研究目的
Investigating the frequency shifts of an optical Nd : YAG/I2-standard as a function of probe modulation of the radiation frequency, pressure, and gas temperature in an absorbing cell.
研究成果
The study concludes that obtaining a frequency instability of ~ 10–15 for an optical frequency Nd : YAG/I2 standard requires precise probe modulation with a relative instability of deviation frequency amplitude ~ 10–4, stabilisation of the cell finger temperature with the accuracy of ~ 10–3 °С, and stabilisation of the main cell bulb temperature with the accuracy of ~ 10–1 °С.
研究不足
The study is limited by the precision of the probe modulation and the stability of the cell and finger temperatures, which are critical for achieving high long-term frequency stability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs saturation absorption spectroscopy with a tunable Nd : YAG-laser with an intracavity frequency doubler, stabilised at a wavelength of 532 nm by saturated absorption resonances in molecular iodine I2. The method involves observing resonances in luminescence and stabilisation by third harmonic zero in response to a probe frequency modulation of laser radiation.
2:The method involves observing resonances in luminescence and stabilisation by third harmonic zero in response to a probe frequency modulation of laser radiation.
Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: The hyperfine structure component a1 of the molecular iodine absorption line R(56) 32 – 0 is used for measurements.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes two tunable Nd : YAG-lasers with ring cavities and intracavity frequency doubling, a Fabry – Perot interferometer, luminescence iodine cell, and electronic system for automatic frequency tuning.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The radiation frequency of the first laser is stabilised by a resonance frequency of the interferometer according to the Pound – Drever – Hall method. The second laser's emission is tied to the first laser's by phase self-tuning. The luminescence signal is recorded by a photomultiplier and detected in the third harmonic of the modulation frequency.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The frequency shifts are measured as functions of the molecular iodine vapour pressure and probe modulation frequency deviation.
