We present two laboratory monochromatic two-photon frequency references operating on the 5S1/2→ 5D5/2 transition in Rubidium utilising frequency modulation spectroscopy. Two-photon references with Rubidium have the benefit of a narrow linewidth and being inherently Doppler-free. The references have a combined fractional instability below 3·10−13/√τ up to 1000s. Efforts to stabilise the residual amplitude modulation are discussed as well as the performance and limits of the frequency reference induced by environmental effects. Measurements of the dipole, quadrupole and octupole hyperfine structure constants of Rb 5D5/2 are presented which surpass the precision of the current state of art values by an order of magnitude.
