Abstract

A novel dual-loop optoelectronic oscillator (OEO), which is constructed based on all optical signal processing, is proposed and analyzed. By inserting an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) on the optical domain, the amplification and filter are implemented in the OEO loop. The performance of the OEO is improved without any electronic filter or electronic amplifier. A theoretical analysis is performed, and the generated microwave signal exhibits good performance with phase noise lower than −120 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz and a high side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR).
