Research on RF-Photonic Devices

Abstract

Collaborative work that was carried out by the research groups of Dr. Weimin Zhou at the US Army Research Laboratory(ARL) and by the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) is described. This work focused on the generation and transfer of low-noise radio frequencies using photonics. In its earliest stage, this work focused on optoelectronic oscillators. Later, the focus was on using frequency combs for free-space transfer. We have also carried out work on microresonator combs and the ARL group anticipates doing experiments on these combs with theoretical support from UMBC.
