Theoretical investigation of external influences on delay-line optoelectronic oscillator

In this paper we present the theoretical study of external influences on delay-line optoelectronic oscillator performed by means of our numerical nonlinear time-varying model, which is based on the simulation of round-trip evolution of both single complex envelope sample and oscillation frequency. The effects of temperature fluctuations, vibration, and electromagnetic interference on delay-line optoelectronic oscillator are studied.
