Abstract
The spectral characteristics and stability of a frequency of intermode beat s of a femtosecond Ti:S laser are investigated. An active method is used to obtain high stability. The frequency stability of intermode beats not lowe r than 5.8 x 10(-14) rms in 100s is achieved. Possible applications of the setup, such as measurement of large frequency intervals in the optical rang e, creation of optical frequency synthesizers, etc., arc proposed. The phys ical principles for the creation of an optical clock of a new type using hi ghly stable femtosecond Ti:S laser are considered.
