Abstract :
Optical techniques for microwave oscillators stabilization or microwave sources phase noise measurement are discussed. The advantage in terms of Q factor of optical resonant devices goes with increased difficulties in the system stabilization. System modelling is also complex, because of the interaction of noise sources around three different frequencies : optical, microwave and baseband.
