ABSTRACT:
Opto-electronic oscillators having at least one Brillouin feedback loop based on the Brillouin selective sideband amplification to provide a sufficient gain for the oscillator to start and sustain an electro-optic oscillation. Such an oscillator can generate high frequency, high spectral purity, and tunable microwave signals in both optical and electrical domains.
