We describe a Yb-fiber-based laser comb, with a focus on the relationship between the net-cavity dispersion and frequency noise on the comb. While tuning the net-cavity dispersion from anomalous to normal, we measure the relative intensity noise, offset frequency (f (CEO)) linewidth, and the resulting frequency noise spectrum on the f (CEO). We find that the laser operating at zero net-cavity dispersion has many advantages, including an approximately 100x reduction in free-running f (CEO) linewidth and frequency noise power spectral density when compared to the normal-dispersion regime. At the zero-dispersion point, we demonstrate a phase-locked f (CEO) beat with low residual noise. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
