Abstract
Multiwavelength communications will require the establishment of absolute wavelengths for identification and routing. For this purpose we recorded high-resolution absorption spectra of C2HD and 13C2H2 between 1510 and 1550 nm, using a Fourier-transform spectrometer. Precise wavelength calibrations were performed by use of 87Rb lines and a commercial wavemeter. 50 lines of C2HD and 114 lines of 13C2H2 were calibrated and identified as rotation–vibration transitions. Lines P(14) of C2HD and R(7) of 13G2H2 were used to frequency stabilize two distributed-feedback lasers near 1529 nm. The square root of the Allan variance was 2 × 10−10 for τ > 10 s.
