Here we report on absolute frequency measurements of a commercial high power CW diode-pumped solid-state laser (Coherent Verdi-V5). This kind lasers usually presents large jitter (up to 50 MHz) both in the short term (1 ms time scale) and long (>10 s scale). A precise measurement deviations temporal scales should require set different devices (optical cavities, optical wave-meters), each suited for only at specific integration time. demonstrate how comb can be used overcome this difficulty,...
