摘要：
We present a method for accurate mid-infrared frequency measurements and stabilization to a near-infrared ultra-stable frequency reference, transmitted with a long-distance fibre link and continuously monitored against state-of-the-art atomic fountain clocks. As a first application, we measure the frequency of an O3O4 rovibrational molecular line around 10 mu m with an uncertainty of 8 x 10(-13). We also demonstrate the frequency stabilization of a mid-infrared laser with fractional stability better than 4 x 10(-14) at 1 s averaging time and a linewidth below 17 Hz. This new stabilization scheme gives us the ability to transfer frequency stability in the range of 10(-15) or even better, currently accessible in the near infrared or in the visible, to mid-infrared lasers in a wide frequency range.
