“…This can be used to perform coarse selection of the oscillation mode in an OEO. With this configuration, a microwave signal with the frequency tunable from 5.8 GHz to 11.8 GHz is generated [9].…”

A polarization modulator (PolM) incorporating with a polarizer and an optical filter can realize various functions such as phase modulation, intensity modulation with tunable chirp or frequency multiplication, tunable microwave photonic phase shifting, etc. Using a PolM to replace the intensity modulator in a traditional optoelectronic oscillator (OEO), various new features have been discovered. In this paper, the recent developments in employing PolMs for constructing different types of OEOs are reviewed and the emerging applications enabled by the PolM-based OEOs are discussed.

“…The first is a frequency doubling OEO that can generate either a 10 or 20 GHz RF signal from a single OEO cavity without the need for another laser [62]. Another demonstration shows a tunable OEO which can generate an RF signal from 5.8 to 11.8 GHz in 100 MHz steps [63].…”

The Optoelectronic Oscillator (OEO) was first demonstrated in 1996 as a low phase noise RF source. Low phase noise RF sources have uses for multiple applications, ranging from analog to digital converters to radar to metrology. In the past sixteen years, the OEO has been shown to be useful for other signal processing applications. This paper will provide a background of the OEO's principles of operation, as well as multiple examples of signal processing applications where the OEO can be used. The OEO can be applied to both analog and digital problems, providing new techniques to solve these challenges.

“…However, the dispersion is difficult to realize a large tunable range in practice. In [9], a joint operation of a polarization modulator, a CFBG, and a polarization beam splitter (PBS) form a MPF. By incorporating the MPF into an OEO, a frequency-tuning range from 5.8 to 11.8 GHz was generated by tuning the polarization state of the polarization controller (PC) placed before the PBS, but the PC is susceptible to ambient condition, which have an effect on the system stability.…”
