Abstract
We report the frequency stabilization of two DBR continuous laser diod es using the two polarization-independent transfer functions of a bire fringent optical fiber ring interferometer. The generation of a freque ncy-stabilized multi-gigahertz microwave carrier is achieved, without any local oscillator. We experimentally demonstrate the interest of us ing a single birefringent fiber interferometer for the frequency noise reduction of a laser and the frequency difference stabilization betwe en the two lasers.
