The uncertainty of a wavemeter has been evaluated taking into account all contributions. This wavemeter was developed to give traceability to the frequency of external cavity diode lasers. These lasers were stabilized and used as light source in the assembly of a new interferometric system for the gauge block calibration.The wavemeter experimental setup is also presented and is based in a Michelson interferometer, a He-Ne laser used as a reference wavelength and a Vernier counter that allowed us to reduce the uncertainty below 1ppm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
