Abstract

WE report here the completion of a determination of the speed of light at the National Physical Laboratory1. The value was obtained from the product of the measured frequency and the wavelength, determined through up-conversion, of the radiation from a CO2 laser stabilised to the R(12) transition of CO2 at 9.3 μm. © 1974 Nature Publishing Group.
