A proposal for photonic generation of a microwave signal is presented by employing a dual wavelength erbiumdoped fibre ring laser.In the laser,a microring resonator is cascaded with a tunable bandpass filter to serve as a dual-wavelength selector,an unpumped polarization maintaining erbium-doped fibre is used as a saturable absorber.By replacing the microring resonator with a delay inter[erometer to verify the proposal,a wavelengthtunable dual wavelength single longitudinal mode laser is demonstrated,and a microwave signal at 10.01 GHz with a linewidth of less than 25 kHz is obtained by beating the two wavelengths at a photodetector.
