Global Opto-Electronic Oscillators Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

An opto-electronic oscillator (OEO) is an optoelectronic circuit that produces repetitive electronic sine wave and/or modulated optical continuous wave signals.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Opto-Electronic Oscillators market finds that the global Opto-Electronic Oscillators market reached a value of USD 22.49 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 42.62 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.24% during the forecast period.

Drivers

High-quality microwave signals are widely used in civil communications, electronic measurement, electronic countermeasures, and radar. In the traditional microwave signal generation method, the dielectric oscillator is often unsatisfactory in low noise, high spectral purity or tunable conditions. Although quartz can obtain a stable crystal oscillator with a high-quality factor (Q value), it cannot directly obtain a high-frequency signal. In contrast, the Opto-Electronic Oscillators (OEO) as a new type of microwave signal generator can generate high-quality signals with frequencies from several to hundreds of gigahertz, low phase noise, and has tunability and optical and electrical outputs, it is a very ideal signal generating device.

Limitations

Influence of the delay line, the optical fiber loop
There are some limitations on the performances of an OEO. First of all, because of the structure based on a delay line, there is a problem in the choice of the fiber loop length. A long fiber is necessary in order to have a very low phase noise, but the consequence is to decrease the FSR of the oscillator leading to very close spectral lines, which are difficult to eliminate with the RF filter.

Environmental Temperature Change

The change in ambient temperature affects the refractive index of the long fiber in the Opto-Electronic Oscillators system, which in turn changes the length of the entire optical ring cavity. On the other hand, it also affects the center wavelength of the optical filter and the center frequency of the RF filter. As the ambient temperature changes, the Opto-Electronic Oscillators may exhibit jitter at the output frequency.
