The mode-locked laser (MLL) within the COEO acts like a narrow-band microwave resonator. Its input port is the electro-optic modulator input, and the output is the photodetector output. We used simple microwave oscillator model to show how it applies to the coupled optoelectronic oscillator, modeling the MLL as a microwave resonator. The phase noise measurement with injected microwave phase noise and direct measurement of the Leeson frequency using phase shift demonstrated that a quality factor of >2times106 is achieved with MLL. We are currently investigating the dependence of the quality factor on the MLL parameters, such as optical filter bandwidth, loop length, and loop loss as well as fundamental noise limits","PeriodicalId":420162,"journal":{"name":"2005 Quantum Electronics and Laser Science Conference","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130054232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
