Abstract :
We describe and demonstrate a multi-loop technique for single mode selection in an optoelectronic oscillator. We present experimental results of a dual loop OEO free running at 10 GHz that has the lowest phase noise (-140 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz from carrier) of all free running room temperature oscillator to date
