Frequency-Tunable Parity-Time-Symmetric Optoelectronic Oscillator Using a Polarization-Dependent Sagnac Loop

Abstract

A widely frequency-tunable parity-time (PT) symmetric optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) implemented based on a single polarization-dependent Sagnac loop is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Two mutually coupled feedback loops having an identical geometry with balanced gain and loss are implemented to achieve PT-symmetry, which is essential for single-mode selection without using an ultra-narrow passband microwave filter. In the implementation, a Sagnac loop consisting of a polarization beam splitter (PBS) and two polarization controllers (PCs) is employed which functions equivalently as two mutually coupled feedback loops, with the gain, loss and coupling coefficient being independently controllable. Since only a single physical loop is used, the implementation is greatly simplified and the stability is highly improved. The operation of the proposed OEO is experimentally verified. Stable single-mode oscillation with a wide frequency tunable range from 2 to 12 GHz is achieved. The phase noise is −128 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 10 kHz.
