Low phase-noise 40 GHz optical pulses from a self-starting electroabsorption-modulator-based optoelectronic oscillator

We demonstrate an optoelectronic oscillator using an electroabsorption modulator to generate a low phase-noise 40 GHz optical pulse train. The oscillator has a measured phase noise of -100 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from the carrier
