Abstract :
Optoelectronic oscillators based on high Q optical resonators are presented in this paper. These oscillators use a Pound-Drever-Hall laser stabilization technique and two different types of resonators: fiber ring and monocrystalline disk resonators. Noise processes in the oscillators are discussed, particularly the influence of the laser noise conversion and nonlinear optical scattering noise. A modeling approach using CAD software is also proposed.
