摘要：

In this paper, a pair of diode lasers at 674 nm, locked to two independent ultralow-expansion high-finesse cavities, have been characterized by monitoring the beat frequency between them. The individual laser linewidth of 1.4 Hz for a 3-s averaging time broadened to 4 Hz at 30 s. The relative frequency stability of the beat at 1 s is 2.5 x 10(-15). One of the lasers has been used to interrogate the Sr-88(+) S-2(1/2)-D-2(5/2) transition at 674 mn, and a transition linewidth of 9 Hz has been observed.
