The charge pump in the OPLS outputs a signal proportional to the phase-error and the transfer function is as shown in <imgref opls_side_panel>. However, the OPLS will typically be used to control a //frequency//-tunable device (such as a laser). In this configuration, the effective loop filter is not the one shown in <imgref opls_side_panel>, but includes a extra integration corresponding to converting the phase-error input to a frequency error. Thus, ω<sub>I </sub>sets the frequency transition from single-integration to double-integration and ω<sub>I</sub> from single-integration to proportional feedback. It is important to understand this 'hidden' integrator when configuring the loop filter parameters. | The charge pump in the OPLS outputs a signal proportional to the phase-error and the transfer function is as shown in <imgref opls_side_panel>.

The phase-noise specified in Section 1.3 is referenced to the phase frequency detector (PFD) at 1 Hz. To convert that to the noise measured on the actual beat-note, it must be rescaled with the following formula: | The phase-noise specified in the [[d2:offset_phase_lock_servo#specifications|Specifications]] above is referenced to the phase frequency detector (PFD) at 1 Hz.
