Design and characterization of optoelectronic oscillators and optical resonators
Abstract
Optoelectronic oscillators [1, 2] represent a field of investigation that needs to be better defined. It is first necessary to build such oscillators from different elements. Then we must in particular being able to evaluate the performance in terms of phase noise of such oscillators. These oscillators can involve optical delay lines [3] or optical resonators [4] whose performance [5] must be evaluated and which must be characterized [6-10]. Here we present principles, then concrete examples with results.
