Abstract
We demonstrate an optoelectronic oscillator using a gain-switched vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser in a fiber-feedback configuration. We simultaneously generate a 2-GHz optical pulse stream at 850 nm with 750-fs timing jitter (over 100 Hz-10 MHz range) along with an electrical signal that is locked to the repetition rate of the optical pulses. The timing jitter performance is confirmed by measuring higher harmonic phase noise.
