Abstract
Two systems are built in which a commercially available GaAlAs laser d iode is stabilized on a hyperfine component of the 5S1/2-5D(3/2,5/2) t wo-photon transitions in rubidium at lambda = 778 nm (nu = 385 THz). S ome preliminary metrological results are presented. The frequency repe atability has been found to be of 200 Hz (5.2 parts in 10(13)) and a s hort-term frequency stability of 3 X 10(-13)/square-root tau up to 200 0 s is currently obtained.
