Abstract
An octave-band voltage-controlled oscillator is phase-locked on the envelope of the pulse train from a mode-locked laser. The locking scheme employs a balanced Mach-Zehnder modulator with two photodiodes as a phase detector. The phase.locked loop has a loop bandwidth of approximately 1MHz and an in-band phase noise of approximately -135dBc/Hz at all frequencies. The integrated jitter from 1kHz to 100MHz is 21fs, 18.3fs and 13.8fs at 5.016GHz, 7.6GHz and 10.032GHz carrier frequencies, respectively. To the authors' knowledge, this is the best jitter performance reported for a PLL with MZM-based phase detection and the first reported PLL of this type featuring an octave-band frequency range.
