State Primary Standard of Unit Length

Reproduction, storage and transmission of the size of a unit of length to standards and working means of measuring equipment by the method of direct measurements and by the method of direct verification.

The unit of length is reproduced by a source of reference radiation based on a helium-neon laser, stabilized by saturated absorption in iodine vapor.

The transmission of a unit of measurement to material measures of length is carried out by the interference method.
