Abstract :
A new Michelson-Morley (MM) experiment that is based on a one-year comparison of the frequencies νx and νy of two lasers stabilized to crossed cryogenic optical resonators (CORES) at 1064 nm. The experiment relies on a highly developed laser frequency stabilization scheme: an automatic beam positioning system continuously maximises the incoupling of laser radiation to the COREs.
