Abstract
We report on the calibration of a temperature stabilized ultra-low expansion (ULE) cavity using previously measured molecular tellurium and atomic cesium lines. By means of a dual frequency modulation technique, the frequency dependence of the free spectral range of the ULE cavity is measured and was found to vary by less than 60 Hz over the ∼55 THz range of the calibration. This method of calibration enables the ULE cavity to measure absolute frequencies to better than 1.5 MHz.
