Abstract:
A cesium 6S(1/2) --> 8S(1/2) two-photon-transition (TPT)-stabilized 822.5 nm diode laser is reported for the first time to our knowledge. Allan deviation of 4.4 x 10(-13) (60 s) was achieved, and the possible systematic errors were evaluated as smaller than 2 kHz. We demonstrate that the cesium TPT-stabilized diode laser could be a reliable frequency reference at 822.5 nm wavelength.
