  We investigate 13 hyperfine structures of transition lines of 127I2 near 554
nm, namely, the R(50) 22-0, P(46) 22-0, P(121) 24-0, P(69) 25-1, R(146) 25-0,
R(147) 28-1, P(160) 26-0, P(102) 26-1, R(96) 23-0, R(49) 22-0, P(45) 22-0,
P(92) 23-0, and R(72) 25-1 transitions, and measure their absolute frequencies
with an optical frequency comb. A 369 nm frequency-tripled laser is frequency
stabilized by locking the 554 nm harmonic-frequency laser to the R(146) 25-0
a15 line of 127I2 via modulation transfer spectroscopy. A frequency stability
of 5E-12 is observed over a 1000 s integration time. The measurement of the
molecular iodine spectroscopy at 554 nm enriches high-precision experimental
data, and also enables theoretical predictions. Meanwhile, the 369 nm
frequency-tripled laser stabilized by molecular iodine spectroscopy has wide
applications in frequency metrology, and quantum information processing based
on Yb+ ions.
