  • Abstract
    Two types of comparisons using transportable femtosecond laser combs have been performed in France and the USA, respectively. The agreement among the combs, when referenced to a hydrogen maser, is on the sub-hertz level at 563 THz. When the combs are referenced to an optical standard, the agreement among four combs was much improved and found to be < 1 mHz at 456 THz
