Laser spectroscopy and absorption spectra of HCN
Hošek, Martin ; Hrabina, Jan ; Řeřucha, Šimon ; Pravdová, Lenka ; Lazar, Josef ; Číp, Ondřej
Hydrogen Cyanide (specifically isotope H13C14N) has significant potential as an absorption medium for the frequency stabilised lasers’ realisation because its absorption spectrum covers the whole telecommunication C-band (1530-1565 nm). The broad absorption spectrum can be used not only for calibration of optical telecommunication devices but also for modern interferometric methods that are useful for measuring macroscale objects (e.g., FSI - frequency scanning interferometry). Our research aims to precisely characterise the profile of HCN’s spectral lines and determine the optical frequency of absorption lines’ corresponding centres.

Utilization of hydrogen cyanide as an absorption media for laser spectroscopy

The main goal of our investigation is the use of hydrogen cyanide (concretely isotope H13C14N) as absorption medium for realisation of etalon of optical frequency. The advantage of HCN over typically used acetylene (isotopes 13C2H2 and 12C2H2) is the better availability and also the wider absorption spectrum in the 1550 nm wavelength band (telecommunication band). The hyperfine transitions in HCN were investigated in the 90‘, but because of technological limitations the measured data are not as precise as the data for C2H2. We aim on use of more developed methods (saturated absorption spectroscopy, optical frequency lock, beat-note against the optical frequency comb) for the measurement of more precise data of absorption lines of HCN. Our other goals will be to obtain the data enough precise to allow the use of them in Mise en pratique.

The contribution reports on the current state of a 306km long experimental line for transfering stable optical frequency from a telecommunication band laser standard between ISI CAS (Brno) and CESNET (Prague). The bidirectional link uses a telecommunication fiber with a dedicated DWDM window of 1540-1546 nm.1540-1546 nm. In the Czech rep. this technology can be utilized currently in two fields: remote comparisons of optical frequency standards and remote callibration of instruments (optical spectral analyzers) in industrial applications that do not allow transporting the device to a specialized laboratory. The stability of the optical frequency transfer was evaluated. A long-term measurement of transport delay was conducted. \n
