Absorption cells based on HC-PCF fibers
 Oulehla, Jindřich
This work is oriented towards our research in the field of splicing and ending of optical frequency references based on hollow core photonics crystal fibers (HC-PCF). This type of references is very promising optical element to replacing c assic bulky absorption cells for laser frequency stabilizat on. We prepared and present methods of splicing HC-PCF to standard telecommunication fiber by a fiber splicer. A special care was taken to optimize the splicer setting and to find and obtain a splice with minimal optical losses between HC-PCF and SMF. The manufactured fiber cell was closed at one side by connecting to SMF and second fiber end was prepared for placing into the vacuum chamber with the help of vacuum-tightened connection to be used as a optical frequency reference based on the acetylene gas for frequency stabilization of the laser standards.

SMV-2014-27: Optical system for generation of stable optical frequency
 Hrabina, Jan ; Číp, Ondřej ; Čížek, Martin ; Hucl, Václav
The work was oriented to design and development of a stable optical frequency laser standard based on ultra-low noise DFB laser. The laser frequency was locked to selected rotational-vibrational transition of isotopic acetylene gas by the method of linear absorption spectroscopy. The research included: design, investigation and development of narrow-linewidth DFB laser source including of development of ultra-low noise power-supply and control electronics; development of an optical setup equipped with opto-fiber output for automatic locking of the laser to selected transition of the ultra-pure acetylene gas, special custom-design absorption cell development, filled with isotopic acetylene, with optical windows equipped with custom-design antireflection coatings; development of control electronics for automatic searching of absorption lines and automatic locking of the laser frequency to this transition; development of control software.

Laser standards for interferometry and stable frequencies distribution
 Hrabina, Jan
Optical frequency references - absorption cells - represent an unique tool for frequency stabilization of the laser sources. Their spectral properies define overall quality of the stabilized laser, so these properties must be precisely controlled and verified. One of the most used absorption media in the visible spectral range is molecular iodine. It offers wide and reach spectra of very narrow and strong transitions so many types of laser standards can be realized on base of this media. Testing of final properties of iodine absorption cells is traditionaly based on two methods - laser induced fluorescence method (LIF) and evaluation of absolute frequency shifts of the iodine stabilized laser (beatnote measurement). Unfortunately both of these methods have few limitations and disadvantages - in case of high-quality cells the LIF method reaches its resolution limits, the beatnote method needs quite complicated optical setup. We present a novel approach for the iodine cells quality evaluation based on measurement of hyperfine transition linewidths - the impurities in absorption media cause line broadening of the transitions. Pilot measurement shows that presented method achieves a very good sensitivity to the iodine purity and together with a need of relatively simple setup can be considered as a novel method for absorption cells quality verification.
