Abstract:
An architecture for an optoelectronic oscillator uses Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) to seed, filter and amplify the oscillation signal in an overlapped oscillator loop for both a RF modulated optical sideband and a SBS signal. By phase matching the RF modulated optical sideband generated by SBS with the SBS signal, the feedback will collapse the bandwidth of the SBS signal and in turn the bandwidth of the Brillouin frequency signal, which also serves as a filter to filter out multiple undesired OEO loop modes. The embodiments herein result in reduced phase noise and increased stability.

Claim (Index 12):
The system of  claim 11 , wherein the optical subunit further comprises a reflector that reflects optical signals traveling along an optical path from the optical circulator through the SBS medium and to the reflector back along the same optical path back through the SBS medium and back to the optical circulator to provide the output of the optical subunit to the optical circulator, and wherein the output of the optical subunit passes through the optical circulator and is directed by the optical circulator along an optical path from the optical circulator to the photodetector in order to communicate the output optical signal of the optical subunit to the photodetector.
