Ultra-low phase noise from X- to the THz-band enabled by Difference Frequency Comb. — •Sebastian Müller, Mikhail Volkov, and Thomas Puppe — Lochhamer Schlag 19, 82166 Graefelfing, Germany

Frequency-comb-based generation of RF and THz signals with record-low phase noise becomes an enabling technology for a variety of applciations from spectroscopy to communication. Here, using an offset-free difference frequency comb, we report ultra-low noise 9.6 GHz microwaves reaching -165 dBc/Hz using optical frequency division (OFD). We also show tunable sub-THz frequency synthesis (0.1-0.5 THz) for characterization of RF components.
