Laser stabilization to a cryogenic fiber ring resonator

The frequency stability of lasers is limited by thermal noise in state-of-the-art frequency references. Further improvement requires operation at cryogenic temperature. In this context, we investigate a fiber-based ring resonator. Our system exhibits a first-order temperature-insensitive point around $3.55$ K, much lower than that of crystalline silicon. The observed low sensitivity with respect to vibrations ($<5\cdot{10^{-11}},$\text{m}$^{-1} $\text{s}$^{2}$),temperature($-22(1)\cdot{10^{-9}},$\text{K}$^{-2}$) and pressure changes ($4.2(2)\cdot {10}^{-11}{\text{mbar}}^{-2}$) makes our approach promising for future precision experiments.
