I don't need someone to do it for me. I just need to make sure I know
what relevant things other folks have done, to double-check that my
approach is the right one for the job. For instance, although I'm using >>> R-T locking with an optically-contacted ULE glass etalon, it might be
that there's an approach using molecular absorption lines that would
work better or be cheaper overall. A bunch of things like that have
been tried, and my most recent reference is over a decade old.
For those kinds of questions, Jan Hall would be much more the guy to
chat with -- and he's approachable, and a serious need might also be a
motivator for him.

I was visiting JILA earlier this week, coincidentally, and discussed the problem with Jan, Jun Ye, and Dana Anderson. Great bunch of folks who
do amazing things. They're working in kind of a different regime, though....locking to doubly-forbidden absorption lines in lattices of
trapped strontium atoms, for instance. Bose-Einstein condensations too. Magic.
I got to visit the clock guys at NIST as well, which was neat.
What I was looking for here was a book or review paper published in the
last 10 years or so.
