Abstract

Summary form only given. Frequency comparisons of iodine-stabilized Nd:YAG lasers from the BIPM, the BNM-INM, the CMI, the MIKES, and the NMIJ/AIST have been made. The frequencies of these lasers can now be linked together with those of absolutely measured lasers from the JILA/NIST, the PTB and the ILP (Novosibirsk).
