SINGLE-FREQUENCY OSCILLATION IN THE ALL-OPTICAL GAIN OPTOELECTRONIC OSCILLATOR BASED ON FIBER-OPTIC DELAY LINE
Abstract
The theoretical investigation of the single-frequency oscillation in all-optical gain optoelectronic oscillator based on fiberoptic delay lines is performed. It is shown that there is no need in microwave phase shifters within the optoelectronic oscillator loop in order to provide low phase noise and spurious level oscillations. Threshold of the dynamical instabilities in the all-optical gain optoelectronic oscillator is calculated. It is shown that the reproducibility of the oscillation frequency is provided by means of the continuous tuning of the loop gain during the switching-on.
