Frequencies

Jan's Laser = 194.401.549 MHz (fine with Protocolbook 194.401.556 MHz).

916nm clock laser: 327.5291 THz (accuracy maybe worse than 100 MHz)

Measured with wavemeter in PTB (accuracy: +-30 MHz):

194.400.001 MHz Laser

-47 MHz Regel-AOM

+36 MHz Manypoint-extraktion-AOM

→ 194.399.990 MHz

Jan's transportable laser has a higher frequency:

Mixer in Hannover run with +1515 MHz

Beat is +44 MHz

Jan's Laser = 194.401.549 MHz (fine with Protocolbook 194.401.556 MHz)

DDS-Programming

Ratio: N=n916/nLink = 3275292/1944000 = 1.684820987654321…
Inverted Ration: N'=1/N
For DDRS: M=(N')*2^48 = 167065212727755.34375 (dez) = 97f1e6a8b1cb.58 (hex) ~= 97f1e6a8b1cb (hex)

Alte Berechnung (Es wurden die Frequenzen geteilt und nicht die Modennummern)

→ ratio of ~ 1,684807

→ 474231011086950,203392

[Hex]: 1AF4F82F51266

→ Inverted Ratio: 0,5935397770762964267907798116259

0,5935397770762964267907798116259 * 2^48 = 167066594929398,49071775301797611

167066594929398 [Deg] entspricht 97F2390B6AF6 [Hex]

→ Type 97F2390B6AF6 into the divider!!!
