摘要
In this article, a simple approach for photonic generation of microwave signal using a dual-wavelength single longitudinal mode fiber ring laser is proposed and demonstrated.A narrow transmission band fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based Fabry-Perot cavity is used to select the longitudinal mode. A FBG with reflectivity of 99.5% is used together with 2-m unpumped erbium-doped fiber acting as saturable absorber. Stable dual-wavelength single longitudinal mode fiber lasers with a wavelength separation of approximately 0.057 nm are experimentally realized. By beating the dual-wavelength fiber lasers at a photodetector, photonic generation of microwave signal at 7.129 GHz is successfully obtained. Both of the laser emission and generated microwave signal have good stability at room temperature. (C) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
