Field-test of a robust, portable, frequency-stable laser

We operate a frequency-stable laser in a non-laboratory environment where the test platform is a passenger vehicle. We measure the acceleration experienced by the laser and actively correct for it to achieve a system acceleration sensitivity of $Δf / f$ = $11(2) \times 10^{-12}$/g, $6(2) \times 10^{-12}$/g, and $4(1) \times 10^{-12}$/g for accelerations in three orthogonal directions at 1 Hz. The acceleration spectrum and laser performance are evaluated with the vehicle both stationary and moving. The laser linewidth in the stationary vehicle with engine idling is 1.7(1) Hz.
