Research and analysis of a laser pointing jitter noise suppression system more compatible with space gravitational wave detection.

Space gravitational wave detection is one of the most critical techniques that maintain high stability of the laser link to reduce the coupling of ranging noise. We model and simulate the laser pointing jitter noise of the laser link between two satellites and build an experimental system for testing. We adopt an FFT-based method for Monte Carlo generation of a random noise time-series signal with a prescribed power spectral density. This experimental system with noise inputs can be simulated in a way that is more consistent with the actual operation of the satellite in space. The experimental results show that laser pointing jitter noise mainly comes from the jitter of the satellite platform. In the 1 mHz to 1 Hz band, laser pointing jitter noise is an order of magnitude higher in the space environment than in the laboratory environment. However, the pointing system can still suppress the laser pointing jitter noise to the noise floor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
