The LISA space mission requires laser frequency pre-stabilization of the 1064[Formula: see text]nm laser sources. While cavity-based systems are the current baseline, laser frequencies stabilized to a hyperfine transition in molecular iodine near 532[Formula: see text]nm are a possible alternative. Several setups with respect to space applications were developed, putting special emphasis on compactness and mechanical and thermal stability of the optical setup. Vibration testing and thermal cycling were performed. These setups show frequency noise below 20[Formula: see text]Hz/[Formula: see text] for frequencies between 4[Formula: see text]mHz and 1[Formula: see text]Hz with an absolute frequency reproducibility better than 1[Formula: see text]kHz. They fulfil the LISA requirements and offer an absolute laser frequency simplifying the initial spacecraft acquisition procedure. We present the current status of iodine-based frequency references and their applicability in space missions, especially within the LISA mission.

Abstract We report on the results of a numerical study of deformations of a spherical Fabry-Pérot cavity that can be used for laser frequency stabilisation. It is demonstrated that for a precise simulation of the cavity deformations a 3D model has to be used instead of a simpler 2D model, which employs simulation on the symmetry plane of the cavity. To lower the sensitivity to environmental perturbations, it is suggested to use a material with a low density and a high Young’s modulus. We also show that the mechanical resonance frequencies of the cavity are mainly determined by the size of the cavity.
