LISA relies on several techniques to reduce the initial laser frequency noise in order to achieve an interferometric length measurement with an accuracy of ≈ 10pm/ . LISA will use ultra-stable reference cavities as a first step to reduce the laser frequency noise. In a second step the frequency will be stabilized to the LISA arms which provide a better reference in the frequency band of interest. We present experimental results demonstrating Arm locking with LISA-like light travel times and Doppler shifts. We also integrated this system with a LISA-like pre-stabilization system using our ultra-stable cavities. The addition of realistic Doppler shifts led to further refinements of the arm locking controllers compared to the controller architecture discussed in the past. A first experimental result of the new controller is also presented.
