“…The high Q Opt of the resonator decreases the thresholds of many power-dependent nonlinear optical effects, especially the stimulated Rayleigh scattering (STRS) and the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). Of course, these two nonlinear optical phenomena are of interest for many applications [9] - [12]. Moreover, it has been demonstrated in [13] that the SBS can be very useful to create an all-optical tunable OEO.…”

14 pagesInternational audienceThis paper reports both theoretical and experimental studies on nonlinear optical phenomena generated at very low thresholds in fiber ring resonators featuring ultra-high quality factors. These studies are focused on two optical scattering phenomena: the Rayleigh and the Brillouin scatterings. The effects of these scattering phenomena on the phase noise of an optoelectronic oscillator based on the fiber ring resonator are detailed. A 30 dB reduction in the oscillator phase noise at 10 Hz offset frequency has been demonstrated by limiting the nonlinear scattering effects when using low input optical power. Moreover, a new high quality factor fiber ring resonator, optimized and immunized against some of these nonlinear optical effects, has been designed and an oscillator phase noise level of -50 dBc/Hz at 10 Hz offset frequency has been achieved

“…More investigations on the generation of different nonlinear optical effects inside the FRR have been performed and will be published elsewhere [16]. In addition, we have successfully demonstrated that the SBS process inside the FRR can be used as selective optical amplification to generate high power and high spectral purity millimeter wave signals above 65 GHz [17].…”

Two types of optoelectronic oscillators delivering high spectral purity microwave signals are presented in this paper. These oscillators use the Pound–Drever–Hall laser stabilization technique to lock the laser carrier onto two different types of passive optical resonators featuring high-quality factors: a fiber ring resonator (FRR) and a whispering gallery mode monocrystalline disk-shaped micro-resonator. The different noise processes occurring inside these oscillators are discussed. Particular attention is given to the conversion of the laser's amplitude and frequency noise into RF phase noise via the laser stabilization loop and the resonator, and via the photodetector nonlinearity as well. A modeling approach using CAD software is also proposed to qualitatively evaluate laser noise conversion through the optical resonator. Moreover, different contributions of nonlinear optical scattering noise are discussed, mainly in the case of the FRR-based oscillator. When controlling these nonlinear optical effects in the case of the FRR, low-phase noise operation of the oscillator has been achieved, with a −40 dBc/Hz noise level at 10 Hz offset frequency from a 10.2 GHz RF carrier.
