Abstract
An all-optical optoelectronic oscillator is demonstrated in which a no vel Brillouin-selective sideband amplification technique is used to pr ovide sufficient gain far the oscillator to start and sustain electro- optic oscillation. Such an oscillator can generate high-frequency, hig h-spectral-purity, tunable microwave signals in both optical and elect rical domains beyond 100 GHz. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
