The back-linked Fabry-Perot interferometer (BLFPI) is an interferometer topology proposed for space gravitational wave antennas with the use of inter-satellite Fabry-Perot interferometers. The BLFPI offers simultaneous and independent control over all interferometer length degrees of freedom by controlling the laser frequencies. Therefore, BLFPI does not require an active control system for the physical lengths of the inter-satellite Fabry-Perot interferometers. To achieve a high sensitivity, the implementation must rely on an offline signal process for subtracting laser frequency noises. However, the subtraction has not been experimentally verified to date. This paper reports a demonstration of the frequency noise subtraction in the frequency band of 100 Hz-50 kHz, including the cavity pole frequency, using Fabry-Perot cavities with a length of 46 cm. The highest reduction ratio of approximately 200 was achieved. This marks the first experimental verification of the critical function in the BLFPI.
