Phase-noise and synchronisation bibliography

Both ThomX and Mighty Laser require to synchronise a laser to a Fabry-Perot cavity and to synchronize that cavity to an external clock (the accelerator's clock). To achieve this it is necessary to overcome twice the effects of phase-noise. An intermediate step is a simple synchronisation of a laser on a clock.

Below is a selection of documents describing the issues involved. Please let me know if some of the links are broken. For people working with me, I can also provide printed copies or PDFs of these articles.
