High Performance Optical Frequency Reference
High Performance Optical Frequency Reference
Optical frequency reference based on Doppler free spectroscopy of molecular iodine. Developed in a Cooperation between the DLR institute of Space Systems, ZARM/University of Bremen, University of Applied Sciences Konstanz and the Humboldt University Berlin for future applications in space. Such a frequency reference is the basis of the proposed scientific space mission BOOST with the aim to test the theory of special relativity.
