Title: Microwave Interferometry In Laser Stabilization
Abstract: We measure t he frequency st ability of a microwave interferometer. The interferometer is t o be used for laser repetition rate st ab ilization in a larger locking system. vVe test the st ability of t he interferometer against changes in temperatures ranging from 282.9 K t o 304.9 K. We find the varying rates of stability from 1.3e-4 Hz/K to 3.ge-5 Hz/K. This means t hat our temperature for the entire laser locking system needs to be st able within 1e-4 K to 1e-3 K. Future work will determine t he validity of t hese measurements.
