We propose and demonstrate a tunable optoelectronic oscillator (TOEO) based on coupled double loops (CDLs) and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). By the incorporation of CDLs and SBS, we not only improve the side-mode suppression ration (SMSR) of the SBS-based OEO, but also enhance the stability of the generated signals. Microwave signals with a tunable range from 2 GHz to 18 GHz are generated...
A 10 GS/s photonic sub-sampling ADC is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The single-sideband phase noise of the optoelectronic oscillator is tested to be −128 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset and the aperture jitter of the photonic ADC is 40.3 fs with the integral interval from 1 kHz to 10 MHz. 23 GHz and 43.1 GHz signals are sampled by the system with the ENOB of 5.0 bits and 4.2 bits.
A photonic method for microwave signal generation by utilizing the optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) is presented. The OEO is mainly composed of the polarization multiplexed double loops to suppress the side modes, and the phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PS-FBG) to select the oscillation frequency. The experimental results show that the generated microwave signal can be tuned from 1 to 4 GHz by changing...
A dual-loop optoelectronic oscillator incorporating an optoelectronic recirculating delay line in order to circumvent the limitations of optical coherence associated with all-optical loops is demonstrated. The optoelectronic oscillator produces a very stable signal at 5.4 GHz (suitable for WLAN 802.11n and 4G-WiMAX systems) with a sub-Hz 3-dB bandwidth and a Q-factor in excess of 1010. A phase noise...
A novel optically tunable frequency-multiplying optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) to generate a high frequency microwave signal without employing an optical filter is proposed. The upper dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DP-MZM) integrated in a dual-polarization quadrature phase shift-keying (DP-QPSK) modulator is accurately biased to serve as an equivalent phase modulator (e-PM), which functions...
We report the first experimental demonstration of multi-cavity optoelectronic oscillators where the different cavities are hosted in a single multicore fiber. Different configurations are implemented on the same 20-m 7-core fiber link, exploiting both unbalanced dual-cavity operation (loop lengths are a multiple of a reference value) and multi-cavity Vernier operation (loop lengths are slightly different).
A frequency-multiplying radio frequency (RF) source based on the optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) with low phase noise has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. With the optical carrier suppression process, the frequency quadrupling can be achieved by biasing the intensity modulators at the minimum transmission point simultaneously inside and outside the OEO loop. In the proof-of-concept experiment,...
A silicon photonic integrated frequency-tunable optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) is designed, fabricated and experimentally demonstrated. Three key components including a high-speed phase modulator (PM), a thermally-tunable high-Q micro-disk resonator (MDR), and a high-speed photodetector (PD) are monolithically integrated on a silicon photonic chip. The joint operation of the PM and the MDR corresponds...
An integrated optoelectronic Oscillator (IOEO) which combines the integrated technologies of photonics and electronics has been developed. All of the necessary elements (for example, laser, photo-detector, electrical amplifier, electrical filter, etc.) have been assembled on a print circuit board (PCB) within size of 5∗6 cm. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to integrate both the...
We present an experimental study on two key elements to design a low phase noise coupled optoelectronic oscillator (COEO). Fiber lengths and dispersions are investigated to highlight the differences between the optical and optoelectronic loops. After optimization, a 10 GHz COEO at 1.5 μm with a total of 590 m of fiber exhibits phase noise levels of −125 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz and −140 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz.
We propose and experimentally validate a compact and flexible structure of optical signal processing employing a polarization-dependent phase modulator (PM) based optoelectronic oscillator (OEO). The key point of the proposed design is to make good use of the polarization-dependent feature of the LiNbO3 crystal of the PM to realize special phase modulation to intensity modulation conversion. The phase...
A millimeter-wave (mmW) optoelectronic oscillator employing ultra-high Q optoelectronic hybrid bandpass filter is proposed. The novel filter with Q value of 30000, bandwidth of 1 MHz and centre frequency of 29.99 GHz has been demonstrated. Based on this ultra-narrow bandpass filter, a 29.99 GHz millimetre-wave signal is successfully generated with the single-sideband phase noise about −113 dBc/Hz...
A photonic linear frequency-modulated (LFM) microwave waveform generator is proposed and demonstrated using a tunable optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) based on an optically injected semiconductor laser. Frequency tunability of the OEO is achieved by controlling optical injection strength. When the sweep period of output frequency matches with the cavity round-trip time, signal quality of generated...
