Abstract

We report a novel technique for highly stable transfer of a frequency comb over long optical fiber link. Phase fluctuation along the fiber link, which is mainly induced by physical vibration and temperature fluctuations, is automatically compensated by the self-adapted wavelength shifting. Without phase-locking loop or any tunable parts, stable radio frequency is transferred over 2 km fiber link, with time jitter suppression ratio larger than 110.
