Abstract

A stable optical frequency is phase-coherently divided to generate ultralow-noise 10 GHz signals having phase noise below -100 dBc/Hz at 1 Hz and a white noise of -177 dBc/Hz at higher offset frequencies. We discuss the technical and fundamental challenges of this approach, along with potential for integration of the components in a portable and robust system.
