## Description

In 2022, DARPA launched the Generating RF with Photonic Oscillators for Low Noise (GRYPHON) program to investigate whether chip-scale photonics can produce microwaves with an unprecedented combination of low phase noise, broad frequency agility, compact form factor, and mass manufacturability.

Since then, oscillator demonstrations under the program have achieved orders of magnitude superior performance compared to any microwave sources of comparable size, as summarized in a series of landmark publications by performer teams led by Caltech , hQphotonics Inc. , and the University of Virginia . This workshop will explore the next steps to advance photonic oscillators into radio frequency (RF) systems of disruptive defense and commercial capability. The workshop will be held on October 10, 2024, at the Virginia Tech Research Center in Arlington, Virginia, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET.
