Description: A simulation was investigated to better understand the impacts and effects of the additional technical noises on weak-light phase-locking for space laser interferometer. The result showed that the locking precision was limited by the phase readout noise when the laser frequency noise and clock jitter noise were removed, and this result was then confirmed by a benchtop experimental test. The required space laser interferometer noise floor was recovered from the simulation which proved the validity of the simulation program. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. ; National Natural Science Foundation of China/61575209 ; Chinese Academy of Sciences/XDB23030200 Access State: Open Access Rights information: Attribution (CC BY)
