Compact, Ti:sapphire based methane-stabilized optical molecular frequency comb and clock

A compact optical clock and frequency comb system is presented, based on a 1 GHz octave spanning Ti:sapphire laser referenced to the F2[superscript(2)](P(7),v[subscript 3]) optical transition in methane at 3.39 μm. The reference methane transition is accessed by a stabilized HeNe laser in a compact...
