Frequency standards based on mode-locked fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers and fiber-based ultra-broad bandwidth light sources, and applications of the same.

Low phase noise radio frequency (RF) sources generated by voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) are described. Optical modulators driven by a VCO may be used to generate optical side-bands to cw lasers. The spectral extent of said side-bands can be increased via frequency broadening in highly nonlinear waveguides. Free running mode locked low phase noise comb oscillators can be used as reference oscillators to generate beat signals between those side-bands and individual comb modes at distal spectral regions, thereby creating an error signal used to reduce the phase noise of VCOs and the generation of low phase noise RF signals. VCO phase noise may be reduced by using free-running modelocked comb lasers phase locked to external frequency references, by omitting a reference comb and using a nonlinear interferometer for generating an error signal, or by locking a slave comb to the modulation frequency of an intra-cavity modulator driven by the VCO.
