Modeling and Design of Delay-Line Optoelectronic Oscillators

We present a comprehensive study of delay-line optoelectronic oscillators based on the numerical nonlinear time-varying model that takes into account additive and multiplicative noise sources as well as time evolution of the oscillation signal envelope and frequency. The theoretical analysis of oscillation conditions and design considerations is presented for the multi-loop all-optical gain optoelectronic oscillator.
