“…Moreover, due to the use of a single cavity to produce the two laser beams, their frequency difference is less sensitive to environmental perturbations and usually exhibits a sub-kHz linewidth [40]. We recently demonstrated the realization of a low-noise, widely tunable optoelectronic oscillator based on the stabilization of a solid-state DFL on a 100 m long fiber delay line [41].…”

We present several laser sources dedicated to advanced microwave photonic applications. A quantum-dash mode-locked laser delivering a high-power, ultra-stable pulse train is first described. We measure a linewidth below 300 kHz at a 4.3 GHz repetition rate for an output power above 300 mW and a pulse duration of 1.1 ps after compression, making this source ideal for microwave signal sampling applications. A widely tunable (5-110 GHz), monolithic millimeter-wave transceiver based on the integration of two semiconductor distributed feedback lasers, four amplifiers, and two high-speed uni-traveling carrier photodiodes is then presented, together with its application to the wireless transmission of data at 200 Mb∕s. A frequency-agile laser source dedicated to microwave signal processing is then described. It delivers arbitrary frequency sweeps over 20 GHz with high precision and high speed (above 400 GHz∕ms). Finally, we report on a low-noise (below 1 kHz linewidth), solid-state, dual-frequency laser source. It allows independent tuning of the two frequencies in the perspective of the implementation of a tunable optoelectronic oscillator based on a high-Q optical resonator.

“…Besides the importance of achieving high spectral purity for the generated microwaves, the tunability is also greatly desired in OEOs. For that reason, numerous studies have been performed to tune the oscillation frequency in different OEO's architectures [4,5,6].…”

The architecture of an all-tunable optical fiber ring resonator is described in detail in this paper. This architecture has been firstly modeled using an original CAD approach. The simulation results demonstrate a total control of both the absolute frequency and the free spectral range of the final optical resonance comb generated by the optical resonator. The different experimental setups used to characterize the tunable resonator are described and the obtained results proving the concept are also provided.

“…A widely tunable oscillator based on a solid-state DFL and a long fiber delay line has been proposed and demonstrated few months ago [20]. To reduce the size of the setup, a high-Q fiber ring resonator (FRR) would ideally replace the delay line.…”

We report on the first tunable opto-electronic oscillator based on a fiber ring resonator and a dual-frequency laser. The dual frequency optical signal is generated by a doubly tunable solid-state dual-frequency laser at telecom wavelength; both optical frequencies are electrically and independently tunable over more than 1 GHz bandwidth. The fiber-ring resonator is 25 meters long and its quality factor is close to 5.10 8 . One laser line is stabilized on a resonance of the resonator with a PDH servo-controller. The heterodyne beatnote, still tunable by adjusting the frequency of the other line, is locked with a socalled optical frequency-locked loop based on the same resonator. As a result, the beatnote is stabilized on the closest multiple of the free spectral range of the resonator. At 10 GHz, we measured a phase noise below -85 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz.
