Injection Locking of Optoelectronic Oscillators With Large Delay

The optoelectronic oscillator is a delay line that leverages optical fiber technology to realize the large required for low phase noise systems. Spurious sidemodes are an artifact of oscillator, yet treatments injection locking oscillators have relied on application classical theory valid only single mode oscillators. contributed by accounted in part through quality factor Q captures round-trip group neighborhood oscillation frequency. This paper presents new formulation time subject describes all essential features their dynamics and noise. common assumptions weak removed. important correctly predict range, suppression spectrum. findings analysis validated experimental measurements provided under external source.
