Abstract

A novel dual-loop technique was proposed for single-mode selection in an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO). It consisted of a pump laser and a feedback circuit including an intensity modulator, a Fabry-Perot (FP) etalon, two optical fiber delay lines, two photodetectors, and an amplifier. By inserting the Fabry-Perot etalon, the proposed dual-loop OEO realized a single mode oscillation ranging from 0 Hz to 20 GHz. The strong oscillation mode was present at 15 GHz, and the side modes suppression ratio (SMSR) exceeded 140 dB. More over the length of the two fiber loops were just 5 meters and 36 meters.
