Abstract
Reports a heterodyne linewidth of less than 30 Hz for the beatnote between the outputs of two 282 THz (1.062 mu m) Nd:GGG nonplanar ring oscillators (NPROs). The lasers were independently locked to adjacent axial modes of a high-finesse interferometer. The remnant frequency noise appears to be dominated by free spectra range fluctuations in the reference interferometer rather than by residual laser noise.
