  - <jats:p>In this paper, the theory of phase-locking of a microwave oscillator on
    the interharmonics, i.e. non-integer harmonics, of the repetition rate of the
    optical pulse train of a mode-locked laser (MLL) is developed. A balanced optical
    microwave phase detector (BOMPD) is implemented using a balanced Mach-Zehnder
    modulator and is employed to discriminate the phase difference between the envelope
    of the optical pulses and the microwave oscillator. It is shown mathematically
    that the inherent nonlinear properties of BOMPD with respect to the microwave
    excitation amplitude can be used for interharmonic locking. The characteristic
    functions of the phase detector for interharmonic locking are derived analytically
    and are compared with the measurement results. An opto-electronic phase-locked
    loop (OEPLL) is demonstrated whose output frequency locks on interharmonics of
    the MLL repetition rate when an appropriate modulator bias and sufficient RF amplitude
    are applied. Thus, for the first time theory and experiment of reliable locking
    on interharmonics of the repetition rate of a MLL are presented.</jats:p>@eng
