Abstract

In the contribution we present briefly the manufacturing technology of the cells and the filling process and an experimental attempt to determine the iodine purity of the finished and sealed cell by an independent method. The data from manufacturing of a first sample cell are compared with the purity measurement and also with measurement of the absolute optical frequency of laser stabilized to hyperfine transitions in iodine in this sample cell. The main goal of this effort is to recognize the limits of the absolute precision of the optical frequency of iodine transitions and look for further improvements in the iodine cell manufacturing technology that may lead to even smaller frequency shifts.
