Abstract
We report the measurement of the frequency of the 633-nm red laser line. This is the first measurement of an optical frequency in the visible range without reference to the speed of light or to a measured wavelength. Combination of the optical frequency with the known wavelength yields $c$ to an accuracy higher than previously known. This method demonstrates the practicability of a single-standard time-length measurement system unified via a defined value of the speed of light.
