We investigated the frequency noise in the distributed Bragg reflector single-frequency fiber laser (DBR-SFFL) theoretically and experimentally. A complete theoretical analysis is demonstrated by considering the energy-transfer upconversion (ETU) process and establishing linkages between the frequency noise and the relative intensity noise (RIN) of the DBR-SFFL. The experimental results of the diverse DBR-SFFLs in different working conditions are in good agreement with the theoretical analyses. These investigations are beneficial to optimizing frequency noise property to promote the wide application of the DBR-SFFLs. The proposed results can be generally applicable to the short-linear-cavity SFFL with centimeters order of the cavity length.
