The comparison of optical oscillators is used both to determine their spectral characteristics and to perform fundamental research. To describe each individual laser system, it is necessary to compare at least three independent laser oscillators. Three ultrastable lasers with wavelengths of 1140, 1550, and 871 nm located in different laboratories at the Lebedev Physical Institute have been compared. A femtosecond frequency comb has been used to transfer stability between different spectral ranges. A fractional frequency instability has been obtained with the three-cornered hat method and phase noise of each laser has been analyzed. Using this method, it has been shown that the characteristics of the laser system at a wavelength of 871 nm are appropriate to control the quantum state of an optical qubit on a quadrupole transition in an ytterbium ion with a n-atural width of 3.1 Hz.
