Abstract :
We have established two portable I/sub 2/-stabilized Nd:YAG lasers for the investigation of the uncertainty of the laser frequency. A third I/sub 2/-stabilized Nd:YAG laser is now in progress. A new experiment measuring the absolute optical frequency of the 532 nm I/sub 2/-stabilized Nd:YAG laser referred to Rb-2-photon transitions is proposed and being developed.
