In comparison with a single-cavity system, relative frequency instability of the synthesized laser can be improved by a factor of the square root of the cavity number. We perform an experiment to simulate a two-cavity system with two independent ultrastable lasers. Experimental results show that the relative frequency instability(Allan deviation) of the synthesized laser is 5 × 10^(-16), improved by a factor of √2 from a single-cavity-stabilized laser.展开更多
