Optical-to-RF Frequency Synthesis: Application Priorities for Ultra-low Phase Noise

Published

Author(s)

Abstract

We describe operational challenges and progress of optical frequency-comb dividers (OFDs) that synthesize RF signals from the optical domain. Our priorities include: (1) ultra-low phase-noise, (2) continuous operation, and (3) broadly low Allan deviation.
