We present a compact,low-noise,and inexpensive optical phase-lock loop(OPLL) system to synchronize the frequency and the phase between two external cavity diode lasers. Based on a direct digital synthesizer technique,a programmable radio-frequency generator is implemented as the reference signal source. The OPLL has a narrow beat note linewidth below 1 Hz and a residual mean-square phase error of 0.06 rad~2 in a 10 MHz integration bandwidth. The experimental test results prove the competent performance of the system,which is promising as a low-budget choice in atomic physics applications.
