Abstract
Fast frequency fluctuations of a 780 nm grating-stabilized diode laser are directly observed by the measurement of the Allan variance. Time intervals as short as 10 ns and up to 1 a are realized by means of two independent time interval counters. Frequency fluctuations with the l aser locked ro a Doppler-free resonance transition of atomic rubidium are examined in detail.
