Abstract
A novel compact optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) employing a
Fabry–Perot (FP) resonant electro-optic (EO) modulator is proposed and
experimentally demonstrated. The resonant modulator is used as the optical
storage element as well as the mode selection element, which can greatly
reduce the system complexity and make the system more portable. Moreover,
the optical resonance and electrical transmission response for the FP
resonant EO modulator are theoretically and experimentally studied. The
proposed OEO oscillates at 10 and 20 GHz in the proof-of-concept
experiment, and the corresponding single-sideband phase noise can reach
below −118 and −108 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency,
respectively.
