The direct detection of gravitational waves has opened a new window for understanding the universe and trailblazed multi-messenger astronomy. The frequency band of gravitational waves generated by various astronomical events can cover broadband range, and it is various for detection mechanism and scheme of gravitational waves in different frequency band. For example, The ground-based gravitational wave detection has the frequency band for 10 Hz to 10 kHz to mainly detect which based on Michelson interferometer; The space gravitational wave detection has the frequency band of 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz to mainly detect which based on space interferometer; The pulsar gravitational wave detection has the frequency band for 1×10-9 Hz to 1×10-7Hz to mainly detect which based on pulsar timing array. The next generation ground-based gravitational wave project demands higher sensitivity to detect faint signals, necessitating an assessment system with minimal background noise to accurately measure the laser relative intensity noise. At present, the detection frequency band of ground-based gravitational wave detection devices in operation is mainly concentrated in the range of 10 Hz - 10 kHz. To satisfying the detection sensitivity requirements, the laser relative intensity noise should be accurately evaluated and suppressed to ≤2.0×10-9Hz-1/2@10 Hz and ≤4.0×10-7Hz-1/2@10 kHz by photoelectric feedback. This paper constructed an evaluation and characterization system for ground-based gravitational wave band laser intensity noise which based on low noise and high sensitivity photoelectric detection device and combined with LabVIEW and MATLAB algorithm programming for instrument control and data processing. This low noise evaluation system is used to test the background noise of FFT analyzer SR760, preamplifier SR560, photoelectric detector electronics noise and intensity noise of self-developed optical fiber amplifier, and then the data extraction and image processing are carried out by LabVIEW and MATLAB algorithms, and finally the evaluation of ground-based gravitational wave frequency band system is obtained. The experimental results show that the whole electronic noise for the preamplifier SR560 and FFT analyzer SR760 is lower than 3.8×10-9 Hz-1/2@(10 Hz-10 kHz). The electronic noise for the photodetector is lower than 1.4×10-8V/√Hz@10 Hz&8.1×10-9V/√Hz@10 kHz and the accuracy of the system is calibrated and tested by the standard sinusoidal signal. Finally, the noise of commercial laser is evaluated and compared with the factory data to verify the accuracy of the evaluation system. Related research, device and system development provide hardware, software and theoretical basis for the preparation of high-power low-noise laser light source and gravitational wave detection and provide theoretical basis and evaluation criteria for ground-based gravitational wave detection in China.
