An Optical Phase Lock Loop (OPLL) is a feedback control system that allows the phase
stabilization of a laser to a reference laser with absolute but adjustable frequency offset …

A ultra high speed photonic Analog to Digital Converted (ADC) for sampling and quantizing
an electrical voltage signal, internally enabled by photonics uses coherent optical detection …

We present the design, fabrication, and results from the first monolithically integrated optical
phase-locked loop (OPLL) photonic integrated circuit (PIC) suitable for a variety of …

Kerr frequency combs enable the miniaturization of comb sources for applications such as
data communications and spectroscopy. However, due to the high field confinement and …

A highly-integrated optical phase-locked loop with a phase/frequency detector and a single-
sideband mixer (SSBM) has been proposed and demonstrated for the first time. A photonic …

The output of high power fiber amplifiers is typically limited by stimulated Brillouin scattering
(SBS). An analysis of SBS with a chirped pump laser indicates that a chirp of 2.5× 10^ 15 …

This thesis explores the design, construction, and applications of the optoelectronic swept-
frequency laser (SFL). The optoelectronic SFL is a feedback loop designed around a swept …

A radio over fiber (RoF) transmission system based on a gain-switched laser as an optical
comb source is proposed and demonstrated. 12.5 Gb/s 16 quadrature amplitude modulation …

We propose, analyze and demonstrate the optoelectronic phase-locking of optical waves
whose frequencies are chirped continuously and rapidly with time. The optical waves are …

A laser resonator includes an active material, which amplifies light associated with an optical
gain of the resonator, and passive materials disposed in proximity with the active material …
