Abstract :
We present the experimental results on the acceleration sensitivity of the first fully packaged optoelectronic oscillator module operating at 11 GHz. We demonstrate a fiber delay line package technique that reduces the acceleration sensitivity of the module by 40 times. With measured acceleration sensitivity less than 1.5×10(-10)/g, this oscillator is believed to have the lowest acceleration sensitivity of any oscillator operating at 10 GHz and above
