Comparison of frequency stability of laser wavelength standards over photonic networks
Pravdová, Lenka ; Hrabina, Jan ; Čížek, Martin ; Lazar, Josef ; Číp, Ondřej
In our work we present a metrological ampaign in which the stability of the 1540 nm normal laser located at the CESNET workplace in Prague was compared with the wavelength of the supercoherent laser transmitted from the ÚPT workplace in Brno via the 306 km phase-coherent transfer line Brno - Prague. The assembled acetylene standard was transferred to the CESNET workplace and a unit receiving coherent wave from the supercoherent laser stabilized by the optical frequency comb and the H-maser at the ISI workplace in Brno was put into operation. The optical frequency mixer with a photodetector recorded a frequency response between the acetylene optical frequency normal and the supercoherent laser distributed over the photonic network whose stability is given by the H-maser in the 15th order. We have verified that the laser normal meets the requirements of the BIMP Recommendation for the Practical Implementation of the Meter Standard.

Utilization of hydrogen cyanide as an absorption media for laser spectroscopy
Hošek, Martin ; Řeřucha, Šimon ; Pravdová, Lenka ; Čížek, Martin ; Hrabina, Jan ; Číp, Ondřej
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

Design of a new iontometer with wireless communication and weather station
Kadlček, Václav ; Hrabina, Jan (referee) ; Roubal, Zdeněk (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the design of an autonomous system for the measurement of the concentration of atmospheric ions. This is a new version of the already asembled Iontmeter by UTEE FEKT. Unlike the previous version, this new one should be completely independent of electrical network and configurable even without a PC. The design includes increased water and dust resistance, wireless transmission from the weather station and its own temperature, atmospheric pressure and relative humidity sensor.

Laser standard for precise length and time metrology
Pravdová, Lenka ; Hrabina, Jan ; Čížek, Martin ; Číp, Ondřej
We present the development and the achieved parameters of the telecom C-band optical frequency laser standard. Compact and robust laser system based on ultra-narrow linewidth fiber laser achieves relative frequency stabilities from 9e-13/1s down to 8e-14/256s levels and can serve as stable frequency source for applications of dissipation of precise time and frequency, wavelength calibrations in optical telecommunication or laser interferometry measurement systems.

Stabilized laser for spectroscopy on trapped calcium ions
Čížek, Martin ; Pham, Minh Tuan ; Lešundák, Adam ; Hucl, Václav ; Řeřucha, Šimon ; Hrabina, Jan ; Lazar, Josef ; Číp, Ondřej
The paper focuses on the ongoing development of clock laser assembly operating at a wavelength of 729 nm, which will be used for 40Ca+ calcium spectroscopy. As a primary source of coherent radiation, a diode laser with an external resonator operating at a wavelength of 729 nm is used. The width of the spectral line of the free-running laser is approx. 300 kHz. The laser is tunable by a piezoelectric actuator in the range of 10 GHz with a maximum bandwidth of 2 kHz. Fast fine-tuning in hundreds of MHz is possible by modulating the pump current of the laser diode with 50MHz bandwidth. The optical frequency of the laser is locked by means of electronic control loops on a resonator with a finesse better than 300 000 with a mode spectral width of approx. 8 kHz. The cavity of the resonator is made of ULE material and placed in a thermally stabilized vacuum chamber. The entire optical assembly is mounted on an active anti-vibration pad in a wooden box plated with acoustic and thermal isolation. The tuning of the primary laser to the resonator mode is detected by the Pound-Drever-Hall technique.
