Abstract
Accurate optical frequency measurement is realized on the hyperfine compone nts of the 6S-8S two-photon transition in cesium with an uncertainty of 3 x 10(-10). Light shift and pressure shift are studied. These measurements sh ow that these transitions can be used for the realization of an optical sta ndard at 822 nm, in order to provide new optical frequency references in th e visible range.
