SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between the repetition rate (frep) of an optical frequency comb (OFC) and the phase noise detected in the carrier-envelope offset frequency (fCEO) using an f-2f interferometer. It is established that as the absolute value of frep increases, the phase noise associated with fCEO also increases, assuming identical noise sources. This correlation indicates that higher frep values lead to greater noise transmission to fCEO, confirming the direct impact of frep on fCEO phase noise.

TL;DR
When detecting fCEO using an f-2f interferometer, does the phase noise transmitted to the detected fCEO become relatively larger as the value of frep increases?
Assuming the noise sources are exactly the same, the phase noise of the repetition rate (frep) of an optical frequency comb (OFC) increases as the absolute value of frep increases. In this case, can we assume that the phase noise of the fCEO detected using an f-2f interferometer also increases relatively as the absolute value of the OFC's frep increases?
In other words, is it correct to say that as frep increases, the amount of noise transmitted to fCEO also increases?
