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.

Doppler Global Velocimeters (DGV) requires a narrow bandwidth laser beam which can be accurately tuned to a desired frequency. One laser used for this application is an ND-YAG which is seeded using a laser diode. By adjusting the laser diode output, the frequency of the ND-YAG laser beam can be modified. This technique also narrows the bandwidth of the laser frequency to below 100 MHz. Monitoring this output is difficult due to the 9 ns pulse duration which makes normal interferometry techniques ineffective for the 10 to 20 MHz frequency resolution required. This paper will describe a system constructed to monitor the frequency in real time which can be used in conjunction with a DGV system to correct for laser frequency drift. The particular ND-YAG system response and stability will be presented and discussed in relationship to DGV system accuracy.
