Abstract

The concept of an interval-division optical frequency chain is presented. It relies entirely on laser diodes as transfer oscillators. Experimental data are given for frequency-stabilized lasers and mixing elements involved. The application of multiple-quantum-well laser diodes as four-wave-mixing elements in the low-frequency part of the chain is demonstrated
