To improve the performance of metrology and precision measurements with optical clocks, ultra-stable lasers with extremely low frequency instability are required. Amongst others, accelerations acting on the laser systems’ ultra-stable resonators limit the frequency stability even though the resonators’ acceleration sensitivity is reduced by novel mounting designs and the best commercially available vibration isolation systems are used to reduce vibrations.
To overcome this limitation, we investigate adding additional feedback corrections to a commercial vibration isolation platform as well as applying feedforward corrections to the laser frequency. Additional seismometers and a tiltmeter are placed on the vibration isolation platform to detect its movement. The sensor outputs are used to generate correction signals that are either sent back to the actuators of the vibration isolation platform or sent forward to the laser frequency.
