The experimental results show that, the phase noise of a 10 GHz RF tone can be filtered by at least 10 dB at 200 kHz offset frequency. A theoretical analysis on the limits of phase noise filtering due to the spontaneous emission and the frequency mismatch between the laser cavity modes and the synthesizer frequency is also included.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessRF (radio frequency)phase noiseoscillatorsmode-locked lasersmicrowavesarticleVolume: 60 Issue: 2 Pages: 519-523
