  • Patent number: 11606064
    Abstract: A Fourier domain mode-locked optoelectronic oscillator includes a laser light source, a phase modulator, an optical notch filter, a photodetector, an electrical amplifier and a power divider; wherein the laser light source, the phase modulator, the optical notch filter and the photodetector together form a swept microwave photonic filter. The passband of the swept microwave photonic filter is determined by the difference in wavelength corresponding to the laser light source and the notch positions of the optical notch filter. In the present disclosure, the laser light source, the phase modulator, the optical notch filter, and the photodetector are configured to form a fast swept microwave photonic filter, the sweeping of a passband of the microwave photonic filter is realized by the sweeping of the laser light source or the optical notch filter, and the change in the filter's passband is matched with the latency for delivering a signal in the optoelectronic oscillator loop for one trip.
