Abstract :
A linear homodyne optical phase-locked-loop has been demonstrated using a semiconductor local oscillator laser and has been shown to exhibit good dynamic response to environmental influences. The receiver phase noise in this experiment was dominated by Rayleigh backscatter from the fibre link.
