Abstract. Technologies for creating microresonators based on the effect «whispering gallery modes» (WGM) and distributed feedback (DFB) lasers used in an optoelectronic generator (OEO) are investigated and generalized. The calculation of the natural frequencies WGM resonator and DFB laser is presented. Software modeling of electromagnetic field distribution in MATLAB environment is implemented. An approach to the manufacturing technology DFB laser with a low-level phase noise based on a photonic crystal (PC) is proposed. The possibility of using this laser and resonator in an optoelectronic system for generating an ultrahigh frequency (UHF) signal to create coherent microwave photonic radars is considered. The advantages of these lasers for creating a single master OEO of promising multi-band radar are shown.

Key words: DFB laser, WGM resonator, optoelectronic oscillator (OEO), microwave photonic radars.
