Abstract :
We have measured the frequency of the He-Ne/I/sub 2/ laser starting from the Cs referenced CO/sub 2//OsO/sub 4/ laboratory standard. As the laser diode stabilized on the two-photon transition in Rb seems to be a suitable reference for spectroscopic studies (H, He...) and a promising standard, we are modifying our chain in order to measure frequencies around 780 nm and specially the Rb one.<>
