To measure the Allan variance you need at least 2 (preferably more) 
stabilised lasers and a mixer (photodiode) plus a suitable amplifier to 
produce a beat signal for analysis.
The beat frequency may be as high as 100 MHz with a pair of 5501s 
(frequency/wavelength accuracy of 0.1ppm) so the photodiode and 
associated amplifier will need adequate bandwidth.
