Abstract :
We report on an optical frequency measurement of the acetylene transitions at 1.5 /spl mu/m. Using an optical frequency comb generator and second harmonic generation, we can directly connect an acetylene-stabilized diode laser to a 778 nm diode laser stabilized on a reference Rb two-photon transition.
