Abstract :
A laser spectral measurement facility has been developed in response to needs for the accurate determination of laser wavelength in the near infrared spectral region in a diversity of applications (fundamental constant determination, optical DWDM communication, environmental spectroscopy, ...). The facility is based on a number of frequency-stabilised grating cavity lasers, atomic and molecular reference cells and optical interferometers.
