TRACEABILITY OF 633 nm LASER CALIBRATION AT NIMT

Monludee Ranusawud, Ketsaya Vacharanukul, Anusorn Tonmueanwai

Abstract

The National Institute of Metrology (Thailand), NIMT, maintains the standard of length in accordance with the definition of the meter through a 633 nm iodine stabilized He-Ne laser. Its accuracy is transferred to stabilized and non-stabilized lasers regarding to beat-frequency method and direct measurement using a wavelength meter, respectively. The traceability in wavelength measurement at the NIMT is discussed here. The iodine stabilized He-Ne laser is self-calibrated using the master and slave beat frequency system. NIMT participated in APMP.L-K11 intercomparison and the results are presented. The standard uncertainty is 2.5 × 10<sup>-11</sup>.
