Abstract :
Summary form only given. The aim of the present experiment is to explore the performance of commercially available active vibration isolation (AVI) systems and investigate the different contributions limiting the laser frequency stability. As laser source for excitation of the In/sup +/ clock transition we use the fourth harmonic of a commercial diode-pumped quasi-monolithic Nd:YAG non-planar ring laser.
