Abstract We study the influence of the phase noises of far detuning single frequency lasers on the lifetime of Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of $^{87}$Rb in an optical dipole trap. As a comparison, we shine a continuous-wave single-frequency Ti:sapphire laser, an external-cavity diode laser and a phase-locked diode laser on BEC. We measure the heating and lifetime of BEC in two different hyperfine states: $|F=2,m_{F}=2\rangle$ and $|F=1,m_{F}=1\rangle$. Due to the narrow linewidth and small phase noise, the continuous-wave single-frequency Ti:sapphire laser has less influence on the lifetime of $^{87}$Rb BEC than the external-cavity diode laser. To reduce the phase noise of the external-cavity diode laser, we use an optical phase-locked loop for the external-cavity diode laser to be locked on a Ti:sapphire laser. The lifetime of BEC is increased when applying the phase-locked diode laser in contrast with the external-cavity diode laser.
