Abstract

The absolute frequency of the hyperfine component a₁₀ in the transition R(56)32-0 of iodine has been measured using the D₂ line in Rb at 780 mm and an iodine-stabilized 633-nm He-Ne laser as references. This measurement provides a secondary frequency standard within the tuning range of a doubled Nd:YAG laser. The measured frequency of the a₁₀ component is 563 260 223.480 MHz ±70 kHz
