“…If we use filter with a Q on the order of ten thousand and a 3 km-long fiber spool, 149 modes will be present under the band pass envelope. One of these modes is transmitted through the filter with the least loss and becomes the output mode, while the others are suppressed (Jiang et al 2013).…”

“…However, as the length of the fiber increases the mode spacing decreases which results in a greater number of modes inside the bandwidth of the filter. As the modes are brought close together, mode competition leads to high frequency noise (Jiang et al 2013). One solution to this problem is the multi-loop OEO.…”

“…One crucial development was achieved by (Okusaga et al 2011) wherein they coupled the primary and secondary OEOs in both directions. Jiang et al (2013), used a higher order modes generator instead of longer loop OEO and injected these modes into an OEO built from a shorter loop. They observed 65dB side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) much better than 18dB SMSR in case of freerunning OEO.…”

An optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) generates a spectrally pure and ultra-stable radio frequency signal from a continuous wave laser source (Yao et al. 2004). In a conventional electrical oscillator, the energy storage capacity is limited, which compromises stability of the signal. To address this issue, Yao and Maleki invented the optoelectronic oscillator in 1996. This novel oscillator uses low-loss optical fiber to extend the length of the oscillator and thereby increases the amount of energy that can be stored (Madjar & Tibor 2006). Due to this additional energy storing component in the system, the purity and stability of the signal increase significantly. Following their invention, many modifications have been made over the years to improve the frequency stability of OEOs (lower phase noise and timing jitter). This review article discusses some of those key developments and then introduces some ongoing work devoted to understanding the impact of using electrical filters with Q >109.

“…An optical coupler is followed by the MZM, which splits the power of the modulated signal into two branches. In the upper branch, there is a high order optical harmonic signal generation module, which has been reported in our previous works [15], [16]. Briefly, when the signal is launched into a distributed-feedback semiconductor laser diode (DFB-LD), many new harmonic components are generated due to the cavity-enhanced four-wave mixing (FWM) in the laser cavity.…”

We propose and demonstrate a new photonic approach for triangular waveform generation. Based on an optical signal with sinusoidal envelope, an injection-locking process in a distributed-feedback semiconductor laser diode is employed to carry out the desired harmonic signal generation, and then the tailored signal is synthesized by the superimposition of these signals with proper power ratio and time delay. In this method, the conventional spectral line manipulating is transferred to individual signal envelope control, which reduces the technical requirement while the flexibility and accuracy is improved. In the experiment demonstration, triangular waveforms with the repetition frequencies of 9, 10, and 12 GHz are successfully generated. The results well agree with the theoretical predication and show great potential to realize arbitrary waveform generation.

“…Optoelectronic oscillators (OEOs) are one kind of new optoelectronic resonance oscillator that has developed rapidly in recent years [10][11][12][13] . A long resonant cavity is required to provide plenty of stored energy so the measured distance can serve as one part of the cavity.…”

As microsatellite technology develops, precise inter-satellite measurement shows its significance in distributed satellite systems. In this Letter, a novel technique is proposed for measuring the inter-satellite distance, which adopts optoelectronic resonance and has a function of self-referencing. Resonance cavities have a high spectral purity and a high oscillation frequency. By utilizing the accumulative amplification principle to convert the measurement of distance to that of the frequency, high accuracy is achieved. In the experiment, this measuring scheme has a large measuring range between 1 and 6 km (can be potentially larger), and the accuracy is better than 1.5 μm. The relative accuracy reaches the level of 10 −10 .
