Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to the design of fiber frequency comb lasers with low carrier phase noise. Examples of these low carrier phase noise oscillators can be constructed from both soliton and dispersion compensated fiber lasers via the use of intra-cavity amplitude modulators such as graphene modulators. In low carrier phase noise dispersion compensated fiber frequency comb lasers, graphene and/or bulk modulators can further be used, for example, for phase locking of one comb line to an external continuous wave (cw) reference laser via high bandwidth control of the repetition rate of the comb laser via the graphene modulator. As a result a low phase noise radio frequency (RF) signal can be generated. In some implementations, a frequency comb exhibiting phase noise suppression of at least about 10 dB over a frequency range up to about 100 kHz is provided.
