Ultra high-Q optical resonators are interesting for microwave generation. We present the theoretical and experimental optimization of resonant fibre rings in order to reduce the phase noise of narrow linewidth microwave photonics oscillators.

Mots clés: optical resonator; microwave-optics; phase noise; microwave oscillator
