and PN in OEO DM are analyzed. Systems of frequency and phase automatic control
in OEO are described.
The final Chap. 8 has two main tasks: (1) description of manifold experiment
results on studying of various modes of the optoelectronic oscillators, which are
realized both for small laser diodes and for powerful lasers; (2) examination of
practical issues of the new optoelectronic oscillator applications including the
retuned low-noise oscillators, sources of precision oscillations for on-board aircraft
and space radar equipment on flying vehicles, including phase noise issues; lengthy
fiber-optical communication links with increased secretiveness, sources of ultrashort
pulses, fiber-optical sensors of various physical quantities on the base of OEO.
The book is finished by general conclusion with the list of main results obtained
and with discussion of near prospects.
1.1 Brief History of OEO Investigation in MPEI
1 and IRE

First scientific papers and authors certificates of Russian scientists from NRU MPEI
[44–46, 52–58] were prepared and published in prestigious journals “Optical and
Quantum Electronics,” “Quantum and Quantum Electronics” (Springer Science
group), and in Russian journals “Quantum Electronics,” “Radio Engineering,”
“Radio Engineering and Electronics,” etc. more than 30 years ago. During this
period, OEO from the laboratory breadboard, which was interesting for scientists
only, converted into the microwave technical device, which future can be compared
with quantum frequency standards or semiconductor lasers. A number of publications in the world on the theme of OEO stabilized by the fiber-optical delay lines
increase each year and the total number can be counted as hundreds per a year.
First OEO investigations can be concerned to 1984–1990 [44–46, 52–58]. They
were performed by the researcher team in MPEI at the department of Radio Transmitters and in IRE.
In these initial publications [44–46, 52–58], OEO with a direct modulation of the
laser diode on frequencies 30–60 MHz was experimentally studied. The first name in
papers on OEO was “the laser oscillator with the fiber-optical delay line.” The
mathematical models of first OEO were suggested and the frequency instability,
frequency temperature dependences of the optical fiber, phase-frequency dependences, etc. were considered. In the quantum research team for OEO investigations,
which was headed by the Lab 228 Head of IRE and MPEI professor, Dr.Sci. (PhysMath) Vil V. Grigoriants the following main persons were included:
– Yuri B. Il’in, Ph.D. Associate Professor
– Alexei A. Dvornikov, Ph.D., Dr.Sci. (1987), MPEI
– Victor N. Konstantinov, Ph.D, MPEI
