Additive phase noise of fiber-optic links used in photonic microwave-generation systems.

چکیده
In this work, we analyze the contributions of several mechanisms to the additive phase noise of the optical fiber in a microwave-photonic link. We discuss their fiber-length dependence and their impact on the phase noise of an optoelectronic oscillator. Furthermore, we present and verify for the first time a mechanism by which double-Rayleigh scattering directly generates microwave phase noise.

ACP-OPLL Photonic Integrated Circuits for High Dynamic Range RF/Photonic links
Fiber-optic links are attractive for transmitting microwave/millimeter wave signals for applications such as radar, imaging and astronomy. However, current fiber-optic links that employs intensity modulation and direct detection suffer from limited spurious free dynamic range (SFDR). For solution, a new coherent fiber-optic link using linear phase modulation/demodulation has been proposed. The ...
