  • Abstract
    We have demonstrated remarkably low phase noise from a conventional Kerr-lens modelocked Ti:sapphire laser using a carefully assembled and characterized phase noise system. The ultimate phase noise floor of -170 dBc/Hz is, we believe, the lowest laser phase noise reported to date, and approaches that of high performance 100 MHz crystal oscillators
