By means of a 1-metre Fabry-Perot etalon, a measurement has been made of the frequency ratio of a He-Ne laser, stabilized to component "i" of the 11-5, R(127) transition in 127I2 at 473 THz, relative to a laser stabilized to transition ν3, P(7), component F(2)2 of methane at 88 THz. This result, fi/fCH4 = 5.359 048 172 57 which has a fractional standard deviation of 2 × 10-10, is used with the result of a previous frequency measurement of the 88 THz laser in order to calculate the frequency of the 473 THz reference laser.
