An example of design, optimization, stabilization and noise performances of resonator-based optoelectronic oscillators

Abstract

In this paper we talk about oscillators of optoelectronic type with intensity modulators and high-quality optical resonators technology. This subject is illustrated by an example of realization from the material to the characterization of the realized oscillator. It is explained how such an oscillator is designed and how it can be optimized.
