Abstract
Recent advances in operation of the modulation-based optical amplifier1 has been used to implement an oscillator which transforms coherent laser light. Amplification process in the modulation-based amplifier consists of converting the optical signal into radio frequency through heterodyning, and converting the amplified rf-signal back into optics via sound wave in acousto-optical modulator. Amplification gain up to 107 has been achieved, noise being close to the quantum limit.
