Thank you all for your charts. I forgot to substract and divide by 
center frequency ;-)
That data represents a beat note between two optical frequencies: Nd:YAG 
laser stabilized to hyperfine transitions of molecular iodine and 
optical frequency comb that is phase locked to the SRS FS-725 rubidium 
standard. And it seems that AVAR of this measurement is lower than 
values for FS-725; AVAR for Nd:YAG laser can be found here:

Does anybody know what is the floor level of AVAR just by counting 
frequency (for example using 53132 & Stable32 or SRS620)?
