Summary: This paper investigates the design of a WGMR-based OEO and the effects of dispersion on its performance, showing that dispersion mainly affects oscillation frequency and phase noise, rather than amplitude. Additionally, calculations demonstrate that laser frequency noise is converted into phase noise through dispersion of the optical WGMR. Theoretical findings are corroborated by results from previous methods, namely the Langevin approach and the conversion matrix approach.
