Fig. 5. The phase noise measurements of the generated microwave signal.

Fig. 5

The PT-symmetric OEO is operating with three different loop lengths of 20.31 m, 433.1 m, and 9.166 km. The corresponding phase noise at an offset frequency of 10 kHz is −92.94, −103.4, and −142.5 dBc/Hz. For comparison, the phase noise of a microwave signal generated by a commercial microwave source is also presented, indicating a 26.6-dB phase noise improvement at an offset frequency of 10 kHz for the 9.166-km-long OEO.
