  • Abstract
    The output of a mode-locked femtosecond-laser is used for high resolution spectroscopy of Cs in an atomic beam. The laser is referenced directly to a stable RF signal from the NIST time-scale. By changing the laser´s repetition rate, the Cs D1 and D2 transitions are detected with high resolution.
