Simultaneously Transfer Microwave and Optical Frequency Through Fiber Using Mode-Locked Fiber Laser

Abstract

Microwave and optical frequency references are simultaneously transferred through fiber using a frequency-stabilized mode-locked Er-fiber laser comb. The instability for transferred microwave and optical frequencies are 2.0x10(-3) and 7.5x10(-1)5@1 s, respectively, for 3 km transmission. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
