Comparison of resonance frequencies of major atomic lines in 398–423 nm

Abstract

We have demonstrated spectroscopy of Ca, Rb, In, K, Ga, and Yb atomic lines in 398–423 nm. Using an etalon of an ultralow-expansion coefficient, we have determined ratios of the resonance frequencies of these atoms. The etalon has small group-delay-dispersion mirrors to be an accurate frequency reference over a wavelength span of a few tens of nanometer. The etalon resonance frequencies are calibrated with accurately known transition frequencies of Ca at 423 nm and Rb at 422 nm. Based on this calibration, the absolute frequencies are also determined for some atomic lines with smaller uncertainties than earlier reports.
