INTEGRATED SELF INJECTION LOCKED SELF PHASE LOOP LOCKED OPTOELECTRONIC OSCILLATOR

摘要

The present invention details fabrication guidelines of integrated optoelectronic oscillators with frequency and phase stability, having higher frequency selectivity in a relatively small size (compared to the larger size of a higher order electrically realized RF filter), reduced temperature sensitivity, and minimized frequency drift. The integrated photonic components and RF oscillator may use Silicon photonics and microelectronic integration using CMOS and BiCMOS technology, eliminating the need for bulky and/or discrete optical and microwave components.
