Photonic subsystems for a W-band radar
Short millimeter wave band radars require high sensitivity front end and low phase noise local oscillator to improve their resolution and range. We present the results of development of W-band photonic oscillator with phase noise -120dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset based on self-injection-locked microcomb and monolithic high finesse Fabry-Perot cavity, and also W-band photonic front end based on electrooptic resonator with whispering-gallery modes.
