  • Abstract
    A tunable optoelectronic oscillator with a Fabry-Perot etalon acting as both an optical frequency reference and photonic filter has been demonstrated. The RF oscillation frequency may be changed by tuning of a VOD to harmonics of the etalon FSR. The generated microwave tone shows long term stability of 3.3×10-10 at 1 s.
