Abstract
A mode-locked laser (MLL) that produces ultra-low phase noise optical and RF outputs, includes two nested resonant optical cavities including an optical fiber-based cavity and an etalon, and a three bandwidth Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) frequency stabilizer assembly incorporating three different optical bandpass filters. The optical fiber-based cavity is characterized by a free spectral range, FSR, and the etalon is characterized by a free spectral range, FSR, wherein FSR/FSRis an integer equal to or greater than 2. A method of generating ultra-low phase noise optical and RF outputs is disclosed. Optical and RF outputs have a phase noise that is less than −100 dBc/Hz at 1 Hz and less than −150 dBc at 10 KHz.
