Two methods of high-resolution laser spectroscopy for the forbidden 2(
1)S-2(3)S transition of helium atom are considered: the method of satu
ration absorption and the method of two-photon absorption. Analysis ma
de has shown that the measurement of the 2(1)S-2(3)S transition freque
ncy of helium atom with a relative accuracy 10(-10)-10(-12) is possibl
e.
