Demonstration of dual-polarization fiber ring laser for microwave generation

We demonstrate a photonic technique for the tunable generation of RF, microwave and millimeter wave signals with a single optical source. A dual-polarization supporting and maintaining fiber ring laser is constructed and its use as a tunable RF source is demonstrated.
