Abstract

By spanning an optical octave (> 300 THz) with a broadened femtosecond laser frequency comb, we directly measure optical frequency standards at 1064/532nm, 633 nm and 778 nm in terms of the microwave frequency that controls thecomb spacing, which can be linked directlyto the cesium standard.
