In this work we propose three methods of a conversion of RF clock stability to the length precision using fs stabilized laser via Fabry-Perot by three proven conversion techniques. One mode stabilized lasers could provide optical frequency reference. Stability of such a laser could be transferred to length etalon represented by optical interferometer.We present using of Fabry-Perot interferometer as a length etalon referenced to fs stabilized optical comb. The train of femtosecond pulses produces equidistant optical frequencies separated by repetition frequency and shifted by an offset frequency. Both frequencies are stabilized according to widely used f-to-2f stabilization method to RF frequency standard, i.e. atomic clocks represented by GPS controlled signal with relative stability down to 10E-15.
