Phase Noise Reduction of a Quantum Dash Mode-Locked Laser in a Millimeter-Wave Coupled Opto-Electronic Oscillator

Abstract

Quantum dash active region Fabry–Pérot lasers emitting at 1570 nm without an absorbing section have been evaluated as an optical source for microwave signal generation. These devices self-pulsate at 39.9 GHz with a mode-beating spectral linewidth as narrow as 10 kHz. Integration of these devices into an Opto-Electronic Oscillator has been performed, demonstrating a phase noise reduction of more than 15 dB in the low-frequency range. Moreover, the measured phase noise spectrum is well explained by a rate equation model taking into account the feedback loop.
