In the meantime, side-mode suppression of the microwave signal is enabled by the photodetection of the soliton train. Substantiated both experimentally and theoretically, the hybrid system produces a drift-reduced microcomb and a spectrum-purified optoelectronic oscillator simultaneously, yielding a low-cost toolkit for microwave and optical metrology.Physics, AppliedPhysicstext::journal::journal article::research article
