The choice of frequencies is determined by the prospect of using the designed PMO as a master oscillator in Cs\/Rb fountain-type time and frequency standards. At averaging times from 1 to 200 s, the resulting frequency instability is lower than that of commercial hydrogen masers. The spectral power density of phase noise for the specified frequencies at offsets of less than 100 Hz from the carrier frequency is significantly lower than that of the best electronic and optoelectronic oscillators. The designed oscillator seems useful for problems of fundamental time and frequency metrology, development and phase calibration of precision microwave equipment, coherent radar detection, monitoring, and communications, as well as in cases requiring relatively long (10<sup>\u20132<\/sup> \u2013 10<sup>3<\/sup> s) accumulation of a weak signal in the region of small carrier frequency offsets and\/or synchronization holding of distributed sources.<\/div>\n<div class=\"around-button\"><b>Keywords:<\/b> <i>photonic microwave oscillator, frequency stability, phase noise, He\u2013Ne\/CH<sub>4<\/sub> laser, optical frequency standard, fiber-based femtosecond optical frequency divider.<\/i><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><b>Received:<\/b> 06.07.2023<br \/>\n<b>Revised:<\/b> 17.08.2023<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A.
