Application of optical frequency comb based on laser-diode pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb:KYW laser to optical frequency measurement and phase locking to optical reference frequency

We demonstrate frequency measurement of a clock laser for the 2S1/2 - 2D3/2 transition in 171Yb+ by using a comb based on a mode-locked Yb:KYW laser. Phase locking of the comb to the laser is also achieved.
