The Optoelectronic Oscillator (OEO) was first demonstrated in 1996 as a low phase noise RF source. Low phase noise RF sources\r\nhave uses for multiple applications, ranging from analog to digital converters to radar to metrology. In the past sixteen years, the\r\nOEO has been shown to be useful for other signal processing applications. This paper will provide a background of the OEO�s\r\nprinciples of operation, as well as multiple examples of signal processing applications where the OEO can be used.The OEO can\r\nbe applied to both analog and digital problems, providing new techniques to solve these challenges.
