Abstract
A number of individual small advances, taken together, bring us to the beginning of a new domain of optical frequency stability, reproducibility, and measurements. Particular advances include the refinment of Noise-Immune Cavity-Enhanced Optical Heterodyne Molecular Spectroscopy (NICE-OHMS), especially by active control of the residual AM produced by a phase modulation, and by improvement of the PZT's HV amplifier noise and stability. Replacing a mirror of a Kurogi comb generator by a selective output filter provides a freqency-displacement capability that will be very helpful in realizing a Divide and Conquer optical frequency synthesis chain.
