Abstract
The performance of optical frequency references is crucial for the success of future space missions for fundamental physics tests (BOOST, LISA, STE-QUEST). For the BOOST mission, that aims to search for Lorentz invariance, two optical frequency references based on different technologies will be compared in a low earth orbit. Both frequency references require a fractional frequency stability of 7.4x10^-(14) 1/sqrt(Hz) (in units of square root of power spectral density) at f = 0.18 mHz (equal to orbit period of 5400 s) [1]. Therefore, we developed a lengthbased optical frequency reference by stabilizing a 1064 nm Laser to an optical cavity, based on the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) design [2]. The setup is developed with emphasis to space compatibility and demonstrated a fractional frequency stability of (9+/-3)x10^(-14) 1/sqrt(Hz) at 0.18 mHz, which is at the BOOST requirement level and corresponds to an Allan deviation of 1x10^(-14) at 5400 s [3]. On short timescales below 100 s the Allan deviation is 7.5x10^(-16). We will present an overview of our current work towards a space qualified optical cavity and show a detailed analysis of the different noise sources limiting the frequency stability of our system.
