[AL17b] Compact Low-Noise Photonic Microwave Generation From Commercial Low-Noise Lasers

Revue Internationale avec comité de lecture : Journal IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, vol. 29(16), pp. 1403-1406, 2017, (doi: 10.1109/LPT.2017.2723821)

Mots clés: Low-Noise laser

Résumé: We demonstrate how phase-locking a whispering gallery mode-stabilized semiconductor laser to a high-stability Erbium-based distributed feedback fiber laser makes an outstanding optical reference for photonic microwave generation using an optical frequency comb. Using only commercially available compact lasers, it allows generation of a 12-GHz microwave signal with absolute levels of phase noise below −47 dBc/Hz at 1 Hz and −170 dBc/Hz at 50 kHz from the carrier.
