Residual amplitude modulation of the phase modulator deployed in Pound–Drever–Hall frequency stabilization is an effect known to cause instabilities to the absolute wavelength of the stabilized laser. We present measurements and analysis of the residual amplitude modulation in an InP-based waveguide electro-optic phase modulator. The modulator is monolithically integrated in the output waveguide of a tuneable laser. The effects on the frequency stabilization of such a laser system to a reference etalon using a Pound–Drever–Hall frequency stabilization scheme are quantified. Frequency offset values in the stabilization point from the reference Fabry–Perot etalon resonance caused by the amplitude modulation are predicted and optimum operating points to minimize residual amplitude modulation are discussed. By operating an electro-refractive phase modulator at the proper bias point, we show that frequency offsets corresponding to less than 3 × 10−3 of the reference cavity full-width half-maximum can be achieved.
