  • Ultra-low noise mode-locked laser, methods, and applications
    Patent number: 10326251
    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, FSRfiber, and the etalon is characterized by a free spectral range, FSRfilter, wherein FSRfilter/FSRfiber is 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.
