A multi-GHz chaotic optoelectronic oscillator based on laser terminal voltage

Abstract

A multi-GHz chaotic optoelectronic oscillator based on an external cavity semiconductor laser (ECL) is demonstrated. Unlike standard optoelectronic oscillators for microwave applications, we do not employ the dynamic light output incident on a photodiode to generate the microwave signal, but instead generate the microwave signal directly by measuring the terminal voltage V (t) of the laser diode of the ECL under constant-current operation, thus obviating the photodiode entirely.
