Optical Pulse Generation Based on an Optoelectronic Oscillator With Cascaded Nonlinear Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

This paper presents a high-repetition-rate pulse train generator incorporating an optoelectronic oscillator based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The optoelectronic oscillator is used to generate a high-stability microwave signal, by which an optical pulse train...
