Abstract(s)

We report on optical injection-locking of a microwave-photonic oscillator based on the integration of a resonant tunneling diode optical waveguide photodetector with a communication laser diode. The oscillator locking was achieved with in-fiber optical powers as low as 0.2 mW, and locking ranges up to 23.8 MHz for in-fiber optical power of few milliwatts and with phase-noise suppression below 110 dBc/Hz at 10-kHz frequency offset from the center frequency. The circuit’s dynamics are well described as an optically controlled Liénard oscillator.
