Abstract

Measurements have been made of the phase noise of six different types of single‐mode diode laser in an unbalanced Michelson interferometer, as a function of optical path difference. The frequency dependence of the phase noise has also been determined. Possible origins of the frequency fluctuations which result in the phase noise are discussed. The detrimental effect of the phase noise on the sensitivity and dynamic range of optical fiberinterferometersensors is briefly discussed.
