Abstract
We performed Doppler-free spectroscopy on the P(40)52-0 and P(52)53-0 lines of molecular iodine (127I2) near the 1S0-3P2 metastable transition of Yb at 507 nm. The frequency instability of an external-cavity diode laser locked to the observed hyperfine transitions of the 127I2 lines reached a level below 1.0

The hyperfine transition intervals were fitted to a four-term Hamiltonian to validate the measurements and calculate the hyperfine constants of the iodine lines. The observed 30 hyperfine transitions of the P(40)52-0 and P(52)53-0 lines of 127I2 can be used as optical frequency references to investigate the 1S0-3P2 transition of Yb atoms.
