Direct-modulation optoelectronic oscillator for optical pulse and frequency comb generation
Résumé
We report the generation of an optical pulse train with a 10 GHz repetition rate in a dual loop direct-modulation optoelectronic oscillator (OEO). Pulse generation is achieved using nonlinear compression in the OEO 5-km-long optical delay line. 3 ps pulses with a timing jitter of 13 fs are reported, while the OEO maintains a phase noise of −133dBc/Hz at 10 kHz from the carrier. Two architectures are compared experimentally and theoretically. A frequency comb with a 1.2 THz linewidth at −30dB is generated.
