Limitations in the Frequency Stability Transfer at 1.5 μm Using a Fiber Ring Cavity

In this paper we present recent results on a fiber ring cavity stabilization and some of its limitations such as polarization modulation, error signal line shape distortion due to residual amplitude modulation (RAM), intracavity backscattering and dispersion. Solutions for each limitative phenomenon are proposed. A stability transfer over 30 GHz at the 10
^-14
level is demonstrated which propose a possibility to perform successful frequency stability transfer over several nanometers.
