Popis:	The frequencies of three lasers stabilized to molecular absorptions were measured with an infrared‐frequency synthesis chain extending upwards from the cesium frequency standard. The measured values are 29.442 483 315 (25) THz for the 10.18‐μm R(30) transition in CO2, 32.134 266 891 (24) THz for the 9.33‐μm R(10) transition in CO2, and 88.376 181 627 (50) THz for the 3.39‐μm P(7) transition in CH4. The frequency of methane, when multiplied by the measured wavelength reported in the following letter, yields 299 792 456.2(1.1) m/sec for the speed of light.
