The invention provides a
broadband tunable low-phase-
noise photo-generated
microwave signal source and device, and relates to the technical field of photo-generated microwaves. According to the invention, a low-frequency optical pulse and a high-frequency
microwave signal are respectively input into the electro-optical sampling phase-locked loop; and the electro-optical sampling phase-locked loop determines the synchronization error of the optical pulse and the
microwave signal based on the
phase difference between the optical pulse center point and the microwave signal
zero crossing point. And taking the synchronization error as a feedback signal, and continuously adjusting the frequency and the phase of the microwave signal by the
voltage-controlled oscillation module until the frequency and the phase are synchronized with the Nth
harmonic of the optical pulse. By setting different initial frequencies of the
voltage-controlled oscillation module,
microwave signals with different integral multiple optical pulse frequencies can be obtained, and
broadband tuning of photo-generated
microwave signals is realized. Furthermore, the repetition frequency of the
frequency comb is locked through beat frequency of two beams of reference
laser and two adjacent comb teeth, the stability of the reference
laser is transmitted to the optical pulse, and the stability of the reference
laser is further transmitted to the microwave signal through synchronization of the optical pulse and the microwave signal, so that the
phase noise of the photo-generated microwave
signal source is reduced.
