Coherent lasers with ultra-narrow linewidth play a crucial role in high-precision metrology and coherent communication. Countless well-developed frequency stabilizations compensate mostly the low-frequency phase noise and facilitate an ultra-narrow linewidth down to quantum limit. Nevertheless, the precise characterization of its intrinsic linewidth of a coherent laser remains challenging. Here, a novel approach to characterize the linewidth of a coherent laser source relying on distributed Rayleigh scattering speckle in optical fiber was proposed and demonstrated. Phase noise statistics was revealed in a delay-time-resolved manner by correlation-based phase retrieval from Rayleigh scattering-induced heterodyne beating signals, facilitating precise measurement of a sub-kHz laser linewidth.
