Abstract
The use of phase modulation in lieu of the typical amplitude modulator in an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) has not yet been extensively investigated. In this paper we present the first experimental demonstration of a phase-modulated OEO using a fiber delay-line demodulator with balanced detection. Preliminary phase noise and frequency stability measurements are also demonstrated.
