Abstract :
We will present the latest experimental results obtained with this 1.3 /spl mu/m oscillator that uses a diode laser optoelectronic oscillator; in addition to low frequency measurements of the phase noise of the 850 nm system. A configuration using two fiber loops used to further suppress the side modes will also be described.
