Photonic Microwave Oscillator based on Fiber Delay Stabilization using a Waveguide Balanced Cross-Correlator

Abstract

A compact, all-optical, repetition rate stabilized femtosecond laser and photonic microwave generator with phase-noise -100, -140 and < -160 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz, 10 kHz and > 100 kHz, respectively, and integrated timing-jitter < 3-fs.
