Absolute frequency measurement of molecular iodine hyperfine transitions at 647 nm
Abstract:
We report absolute frequency measurements of molecular iodine P(46) 5-4 a1, a10, and a15 hyperfine transitions at 647 nm with a fiber-based frequency comb. The light source is based on a Littrow-type external-cavity diode laser. A frequency stability of 5×10-12 at a 200 s integration time is achieved when the light source is stabilized to the P(46) 5-4 a15 line. The pressure shift is determined to be -8.3(7) kHz/Pa. Our determination of the line centers reached a precision of 21 kHz. The light source can serve as a reference laser for lithium spectroscopy (2S→3P).

Let us consider a dataset containing the number of unsold cupcakes in five shops: 10, 15, 8, 7, and 10. Initially, calculate the sample mean. Then calculate the deviation, or the difference, between each data value and the mean. Next, the absolute values of these deviations are added and divided by the sample size to...
