“…These two parameters are believed to have the effects significantly on the frequency stability of the iodine-stabilized diodepumped Nd:YAG laser system developed in this study. The lowest Allan standard deviation of 0.6643×10 obtained at -5°C for 50 cm long iodine cell is quite high compared with previous values as reported in the literatures (Cordiale et al, 2000;Picard et al, 2003;Hong et al, 2003;1998;Arie and Byer, 1994;Döringshoff et al, 2012;Rovera et al, 2002;Robertsson et al, 2001;Eickhoff and Hall, 1995;Bitou et al, 2003). Therefore, the developed iodinestabilized diode laser-pumped Nd:YAG laser is not suitable to be used as a primary wavelength standard, However, the uncertainty of the iodine-stabilized laser system is acceptable to be used with a gauge block interferometer for the length calibration of the gauge block which is the main work of NIMT.…”
