Characterization technique of optical whispering gallery mode resonators in the microwave frequency domain for optoelectronic oscillators.

چکیده
Optical Q factor measurements are performed on a whispering gallery mode (WGM) disk resonator using a microwave frequency domain approach instead of using an optical domain approach. An absence of hysteretic behavior and a better linearity are obtained when performing linewidth measurements by using a microwave modulation for scanning the resonances instead of the piezoelectric-based frequency tuning capability of the laser. The WGM resonator is then used to stabilize a microwave optoelectronic oscillator. The microwave output of this system generates a 12.48 GHz signal with -94 dBc/Hz phase noise at 10 kHz offset.

Phase noise of whispering gallery photonic hyper-parametric microwave oscillators.
We report on the experimental study of phase noise properties of a high frequency photonic microwave oscillator based on four wave mixing in calcium fluoride whispering gallery mode resonators. Specifically, the oscillator generates approximately 8.5 GHz signals with -120 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz from the carrier. The floor of the phase noise is limited by the shot noise of the signal received at the ...
متن کاملPhase-locking transition in Raman combs generated with whispering gallery mode resonators.
We investigate the mechanisms leading to phase locking in Raman optical frequency combs generated with ultrahigh Q crystalline whispering gallery mode disk resonators. We show that several regimes can be triggered depending on the pumping conditions, such as single-frequency Raman lasing, multimode operation involving more than one family of cavity eigenmodes, and Kerr-assisted Raman frequency ...

We report on investigations into the coherent properties of rare-earth ion doped whispering gallery mode resonators at low temperatures. Our experiments with Pr:Y2SiO5 enabled direct measurement of cavity QED parameters, showing good agreement with calculated values. We will also describe the a couple of our theoretical proposals we are working toward implementing experimentally. The up-convers...
متن کاملEx-house 2D finite-element simulation of the whispering-gallery modes of axisymmetric electromagnetic resonators
It is described, explicitly, how a popular, commercially-available software package for solving partialdifferential-equations (PDEs), as based on the finite-element method (FEM), can be configured to calculate the frequencies and fields of the whispering-gallery (WG) modes of axisymmetric dielectric resonators. The approach is traceable; it exploits the PDE-solver’s ability to accept the defini...
