Abstract
A system includes a mode-locked laser (MLL) configured to receive a first radio frequency (RF) reference signal, and based on the first RF reference signal, generate an optical frequency comb (OFC). The system further includes a wavelength conversion medium configured to receive the OFC, and based on the OFC, generate at least one photonic reference signal. The system further includes a transfer oscillator (TO) circuit configured to receive the OFC and the at least one photonic reference signal, and generate the first RF reference signal based on the OFC and the at least one photonic reference signal.
