摘      要：Experiments on developing a frequency-stabilized 555.8-nm laser are presented. The 555.8-nm laser＇ is obtained by frequency doubling of a l lll.6-mn diode laser through single-passing a periodically poled lithium niobate （PPLN） waveguide. Tile 555.8-nm laser is then locked to a stable high-finesse Fabry Perot （FP） cavity by tile Pound Drever--Hall （PDH） technique. Tile finesse of the cavity is measured by tile heterodyne cavity ring-down spectroscopy technique. The linewidth of the 555.8-nm laser is investigated. Alter the laser is locked, the laser line width is reduced to about 3 kHz. This frequency-stabilized 555.8-nm laser is used in experiments on the laser cooling and trapping of ytterbium atoms to develop an ytterbium optical clock.
