Phase noise measurement of external cavity diode lasers and implications for optomechanical sideband cooling of GHz mechanical modes
Cavity-optomechanical cooling via radiation pressure dynamical backaction enables ground-state cooling of mechanical oscillators, provided the laser exhibits sufficiently low phase noise. In this paper, we investigate and measure the excess phase noise of widely tunable external cavity diode lasers,...
