We demonstrated for the first time the characterization of absolute frequency stability of three reference cavities by cross beating three laser beams which are independently locked to these reference cavities. This method shows the individual feature of each reference cavity, while conventional beatnote measurement between two cavities can only provide an upper bound. This method allows for numerous applications such as optimizing the performance of the reference cavity for optical clockwork.

We present and analyze four frequency measurements designed to characterize the performance of an optical frequency reference based on spectral hole burning in EuYSO. The first frequency comparison, between a single unperturbed spectral hole and a hy
drogen maser, demonstrates a fractional frequency drift rate of $5 times 10^{-18}$ s$^{-1}$. Optical-frequency comparisons between a pattern of spectral holes, a Fabry-Perot cavity, and an Al$^+$ optical atomic clock show a short-term fractional frequency stability of $1 times10^{-15} tau^{-1/2}$ that averages down to $2.5^{+1.1}_{-0.5} times 10^{-16}$ at $tau = 540~s$ (with linear frequency drift removed). Finally, spectral hole patterns in two different EuYSO crystals located in the same cryogenic vessel are compared, yielding a short-term stability of $7 times10^{-16} tau^{-1/2}$ that averages down to $5.5^{+1.8}_{-0.9} times 10^{-17}$ at $tau = 204$~s (with quadratic frequency drift removed).
We have built a frequency chain which enables to measure the absolute frequency of a laser emitting in the 28-31 THz frequency range and stabilized onto a molecular absorption line. The set-up uses an optical frequency comb and an ultrastable 1.55 $m
u$m frequency reference signal, transferred from LNE-SYRTE to LPL through an optical link. We are now progressing towards the stabilization of the mid-IR laser via the frequency comb and the extension of this technique to quantum cascade lasers. Such a development is very challenging for ultrahigh resolution molecular spectroscopy and fundamental tests of physics with molecules.
We have quantified a short term instability budget for an optical frequency standard based on cold, freely expanding calcium atoms. Such systems are the subject of renewed interest due to their high frequency stability and relative technical simplici
ty compared to trapped atom optical clocks. By filtering the clock laser light at 657 nm through a high finesse cavity, we observe a slight reduction in the optical Dick effect caused by aliased local oscillator noise. The ultimately limiting technical noise is measured using a technique that does not rely on a second clock or fs-comb.
We demonstrated transferring the stability of one highly stable clock laser operating at 729 nm to another less stable laser operating at 698 nm. The two different wavelengths were bridged using an optical frequency comb. The improved stability of th
e clock laser at 698 nm enabled us to evaluate the systematic frequency shifts of the Sr optical lattice clock with shorter averaging time. We determined the absolute frequency of the clock transition 1S0 - 3P0 in 87Sr to be 429 228 004 229 873.9 (1.4) Hz referenced to the SI second on the geoid via International Atomic Time (TAI).
We have developed an extreme ultraviolet (XUV) frequency comb for performing ultra-high precision spectroscopy on the many XUV transitions found in highly charged ions (HCI). Femtosecond pulses from a 100 MHz phase-stabilized near-infrared frequency
comb are amplified and then fed into a femtosecond enhancement cavity (fsEC) inside an ultra-high vacuum chamber. The low-dispersion fsEC coherently superposes several hundred incident pulses and, with a single cylindrical optical element, fully compensates astigmatism at the $w_0=15mu$m waist cavity focus. With a gas jet installed there, intensities reaching $sim10^{14}$ W/cm$^2$ generate coherent high harmonics with a comb spectrum at 100 MHz rate. We couple out of the fsEC harmonics from the 7th up to the 35th (42 eV; 30 nm) to be used in upcoming experiments on HCI frequency metrology.
