Photonic generation of a low-phase-noise microwave signal based on period-one (P1) dynamics of an optically injected semiconductor laser (OISL) subject to subharmonic modulation from an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) is firstly proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Under suitable injection para...
