摘要：

A frequency lock has been developed which frequency stabilizes a portion of the output from an ultrastable diode laser to the narrow 5s(2)S(1/2)-4d(2)D(5/2) transition at 445 TH2 (674 nm) of a single, trapped and laser cooled Sr-88(+) ion; Digital processing is used to record quantum jump data and to servo the frequency applied to an acousto-optic modulator which is used to scan a portion of the laser output across two, symmetrically displaced Zeeman components. Stable locking has been obtained resulting in uncertainties in the ion transition referenced laser frequency of less than 150 Hz. Crown Copyright (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
