A tunable optoelectronic oscillator (TOEO) with coupled dual-loop (CDL) based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is proposed. In our scheme, the CDL is constructed by cascading a dual-output Mach–Zehnder intensity modulator (DOMZM) and a single output Mach–Zehnder intensity modulator (MZM). One optical output of the DOMZM is directly injected to the MZM, and the other optical output of the DOMZM is transformed into microwave signals to modulate the MZM. The narrow gain spectrum of SBS is used to select the oscillation frequency and realize frequency tunability. By joining the CDL, we can not only increase side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) and decrease phase noise, but also improve stability of the TOEO. Experimental results show that microwave signals from 2 GHz to 18 GHz with the SMSR as high as 60 dB and the phase noise as low as −95 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz frequency offset are achieved. Furthermore, the frequency drift is less than 0.3 ppm and the power drift is lower than 0.2 dB at 10 GHz within 30 min in lab condition.
