Linear phase-and-frequency-modulated photonic links using optical discriminators.

چکیده
We report our experimental results for linear analog optical links that use phase or frequency modulation and optical discrimination. The discriminators are based on two architectures: a cascaded MZI FIR lattice filter and a ring assisted MZI (RAMZI) IIR filter. For both types of discriminators, we demonstrate > 6 dB improvement in the link's third-order output intercept point (OIP3) over a MZM link. We show that the links have low second-order distortion when using balanced detection. Using high optical power, we demonstrate an OIP3 of 39.2 dBm. We also demonstrate 4.3dB improvement in signal compression.

Frequency-Modulated Microwave Photonic Links with Direct Detection: Review and Theory
This work is a theoretical study of microwave photonic links which use optical frequency modulation (FM) and lter-slope discrimination for demodulation. The high modulation e ciency of optical FM devices is attractive for achieving low noisegure links, but linear demodulation of the signals is also desired. In order to design discriminators which produce low distortion, this paper presents gene...

متن کاملPhotonic microwave bandpass filter with improved dynamic range.
A technique to improve the dynamic range of a photonic microwave bandpass filter is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The filter is implemented based on phase modulation to intensity modulation conversion using fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) serving as frequency discriminators, with the optical carriers located at the left or right slopes of the FBGs, to generate positive or negative tap c...
متن کاملACP-OPLL Photonic Integrated Circuits for High Dynamic Range RF/Photonic links
Fiber-optic links are attractive for transmitting microwave/millimeter wave signals for applications such as radar, imaging and astronomy. However, current fiber-optic links that employs intensity modulation and direct detection suffer from limited spurious free dynamic range (SFDR). For solution, a new coherent fiber-optic link using linear phase modulation/demodulation has been proposed. The ...
متن کاملMonolithic integration of high linearity attenuated counter-propagating optical phase-locked loop coherent receiver
Introduction: Coherent phase modulated RF/photonic links have been proposed [1, 2] to realise high dynamic range analogue optical links, which require the use of an optical phase-locked loop (OPLL) as a linear phase demodulator. Through feedback, the OPLL forces the output phase response of a local optical phase modulator to mirror the phase of an incoming optical signal. Since high loop gain a...
