Abstract
The amplitude noise responses of optical-frequency-discriminating systems, based on Fabry-Perot cavities with intensity noise compensation, are analyzed considering also the effect of the resonator transient. From the point of view of amplitude noise immunity, systems based on transmission or reflection alone behave in a quite similar way within the discriminator bandwidth, whereas a proper combination of both these signals not only increases the sensitivity to frequency noise but also allows for higher rejection to amplitude noise.
