Abstract

Modulation-transfer spectroscopy is used to observe resonances in 130Te2 near 467 nm. A signal-to-noise ratio of 500 is obtained with 1 mW laser power and with a time constant of 10 ms; the lineshapes are investigated in detail for different demodulation phases. The signal can be used to servolock a blue dye ring laser at 467 nm on a 130Te2 resonance which serves as reference line for precision spectroscopy on single, trapped Yb+ ions at 467 nm.
