  We report on the realization of an optical phase noise cancellation technique
by passively embedding the optical phase information into a radio frequency
(RF) signal and shifting the optical frequency with the amount of phase noise
introduced by optical phase perturbations. Neither phase discrimination nor
active phase tracking is required due to the open-loop design, mitigating some
technical problems, such as the limited compensation speed and the finite
phase/timing jitter, in conventional phase noise cancellation. We
experimentally demonstrate that this technique maintains the same delay-limited
bandwidth and phase noise suppression capability as in conventional techniques,
but significantly shortens the response speed and phase recovery time. Passive
decoupling optical phase perturbation represents a powerful technique in the
domains of optical frequency standard comparisons and clockworks for future
optical atomic clocks, which are now under serious investigation for a
potential redefinition of the International Time Scale.
