Abstract
We experimentally characterize amplitude and phase fluctuations of a femtosecond fiber oscillator close to the standard quantum limit (SQL). A passive optical cavity is employed to convert frequency noise to relative intensity noise (RIN) with close to quantum-limited sensitivity. The noise properties of the investigated oscillator reach the SQL (by 3 dB) at 0.1 μs timescales.
