A 5-m-long fibre link with a phase noise compensation system for optical frequency signal transmission at a wavelength of 1.14 μm is demonstrated. The stability of the noise compensation system in the presence of harmonic mechanical perturbations is assessed and the relative transmitted signal frequency instability is shown to be 3.8 × 10−15 at an averaging time of 1 s and 3.5 × 10−20 over 850 s.
