Diode laser using narrow bandwidth interference filter at 852 nm and its application in Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter

We demonstrate an 852-nm external cavity diode laser(ECDL) system whose wavelength is mainly determined by an interference filter instead of other wavelength selective elements. The Lorentzian linewidth measured by the heterodyne beating between two identical lasers is 28.3 k Hz. Moreover, we test the application of the ECDL in the Faraday atomic filter.Besides saturated absorption spectrum, the transmission spectrum of the Faraday atomic filter at 852 nm is measured by using the ECDL. This interference filter ECDL method can also be extended to other wavelengths and widen the application range of diode laser.     

铯原子时间频率基准研制——现代计量科学专题之五

1概述 时间是一个非常重要的基本物理量,单位是秒(s).在单位时间内周期运动重复的次数称为频率,单位是赫兹(Hz).在国际单位制SI中,秒是基本单位,赫兹是导出单位.时间和频率关系密切,两者共用一个计量基准,即时间频率基准.     

Improvements and New Evaluation of NIM4 Caesium Fountain Clock at NIM in 2005-2006

The NIM4 caesium fountain clock has been operating stably and sub-continually since August 2003. We present our improvements on NIM4 in 2005-06 and the most recent evaluation for its frequency shifts with an uncertainty of 5 × 10^-15. A 203-day comparison between NIM4 and GPS time shows an agreement of 2 × 10^-14. Finally the construction of the NIM5 transportable caesium fountain clock is briefly reported.
