    Design of transportable reference cavities. (a) The cubic cavity spacer. (b) The cavities mounted on an aluminum cage. (c) The displacement of probe points at different positions along the z axis on the mirrors of cavity 1 under an acceleration of 1g along the z axis. (d) The length change of two cavities under an acceleration of 1g along the y axis. Three curves are overlapped.
    Schematic diagram of the experimental setup for (a) laser frequency stabilization and (b) laser performance measurement.
