Evaluation of Fiber Noise Induced in Ultrastable Environments

Phase noise induced by environmental disturbance was greatly reduced when the optical fiber was installed in an ultrastable environment. In this paper, the optical fiber length was 10 m, and the reduction in the phase noise power spectral density was approximately 70 and 30 dB at Fourier frequencies of 10 mHz and 10 Hz, respectively. To evaluate faint fiber noise, we developed a modified Mach-Zehn...
