Abstract :
A feedback technique that utilizes a special optical modulator is used to reduce the phase noise of RF signals in microwave fiber-optic links. Experimental results indicate a reduction in the phase noise of a 150 MHz signal by more than 14 dB at offset frequencies of up to 4 kHz from carrier.
