  • Abstract
    A compact and simplified 13C2H2 optical frequency standard is currently under development at NPL. The standard uses an inexpensive, commercially available 20 mW DFB diode laser, which is stabilized to line P(16) of the nu1 + nu3 band at 1542 nm in an experimental arrangement which dispenses with the need for an enhancement cavity. Preliminary stability and reproducibility data will be presented.
