Abstract :
Frequency comparisons have been carried out between iodine-stabilized Nd:YAG lasers from the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, the Bureau National de Metrologie-Institut National de Metrologie, the Czech Metrology Institute, the Centre for Metrology and Accreditation, and the National Metrology Institute of Japan/National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. The comparison data of these lasers can now be linked to the results of recent absolute frequency measurements of lasers from different institutes.
