“…Subsequently, Devgan et al proposed an all-photonic-gain OEO at 10 GHz using a specific carrier suppression technique of a low-biased MZM (37), as shown in Figure 11a, and it exhibited phase noise at least 10 dB lower than that delivered from the same OEO circuit using an RF amplifier. Without any temperature stabilization, Sung et al used a directly modulated edge-emitting laser under strong optical injection to demonstrate a 20 GHz OEO with a phase noise of 123 dBc/Hz at 5 kHz frequency offset (38), as shown in Figure 11b. After injection locking with a positively detuned frequency, the slave laser cavity mode would redshift to induce a resonant amplification on the modulation sideband, which exhibits a high narrowband RF modulation efficiency.…”

Without the need of any clock source, an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) enables to simultaneously generate a high‐repetition‐rate optical clock/pulse train with low jitter and a microwave clock with high spectral purity, and it can be employed to further perform signal processing including data generation, pulse shaping, and clock recovery. Therefore, it becomes the center of attention in the microwave photonic technical area. Numerous techniques have been proposed to reduce the single‐sideband (SSB) phase noise and to improve the frequency stability of the OEO. In this article, a historical review of OEOs including different constructing methods and functionalities is introduced. Subsequently, a Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM)‐based OEO at 40 GHz is focused to implement a synthesizer‐free 40 Gbit/s return‐to‐zero binary phase‐shifted‐keying (RZ‐BPSK) data generator. As a result, the 40 GHz microwave clock with a Q ‐factor of up to 2 × 10 8 is observed, and its SSB phase noise can be suppressed to −120 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz frequency offset. Moreover, its spectral quality is almost independent of the intraloop fiber‐induced radio‐frequency (RF) power fading. In addition, the delivered optical RZ carrier with a pulse on/off extinction ratio (ER) of 7.7 dB, a pulse width of 10.5 ps, and a timing jitter of 150 fs is particularly suitable for 40 Gbit/s RZ‐BPSK data transmission. At a requested bit error rate (BER) of 10 −9 , a back‐to‐back receiving power sensitivity of −16.3 dBm is observed, which indicates a power penalty of 4 dB after 25 km single‐mode‐fiber (SMF) transmission.

The Optoelectronic Oscillator (OEO) was first demonstrated in 1996 as a low phase noise RF source. Low phase noise RF sources have uses for multiple applications, ranging from analog to digital converters to radar to metrology. In the past sixteen years, the OEO has been shown to be useful for other signal processing applications. This paper will provide a background of the OEO's principles of operation, as well as multiple examples of signal processing applications where the OEO can be used. The OEO can be applied to both analog and digital problems, providing new techniques to solve these challenges.

“…Since RF resonator-based oscillator technology can not match all advantages of photonic systems, there has been a great search of OEO configurations capable to generate ultra-pure RF carriers in both electrical and optical domains. Several OEO systems have been proposed over the last few years, including photonic oscillators based on InP monolithic oscillators [8], or using direct modulated semiconductor lasers and optical/optoelectronic injection schemes [9]. However, these configurations either are too complex or do not meet all the photonic RF systems OEO requirements.…”

“…This five port RTD based OEO circuit eliminates the need of discrete components such as RF amplifiers, RF couplers and filters, and corresponds to a significant simplification when compared to previously reported optoelectronic oscillators [8,9,12]. The RTD-OEO circuit proposed here aims to fulfill the needs of photonic RF systems and is much simpler and flexible due to RTD-OW optoelectronic nonlinearities and the RTD wide bandwidth negative differential conductance (NDC) characteristic.…”

Abstract. We introduce and report recent developments on a novel five port optoelectronic voltage controlled oscillator consisting of a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) optical-waveguide integrated with a laser diode. The RTD-based optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) has both optical and electrical input and output ports, with the fifth port allowing voltage control. The RTD-OEO locks to reference radio-frequency (RF) sources by either optical or electrical injection locking techniques allowing remote synchronization, eliminating the need of impedance matching between traditional RF oscillators. RTD-OEO functions include generation, amplification and distribution of RF carriers, clock recovery, carrier recovery, modulation and demodulation and frequency synthesis. Self-injection locking operation modes, where small portions of the output electrical/optical signals are fed back into the electrical/optical input ports, are also proposed. The self-phase locked loop configuration can give rise to low-noise high-stable oscillations, not limited by the RF source performance and with no need of external optoelectronic conversion.
