Nonlinear dispersion-based incoherent photonic processing for microwave pulse generation with full reconfigurability.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel all-optical technique based on the incoherent processing of optical signals using high-order dispersive elements is analyzed for microwave arbitrary pulse generation. We show an approach which allows a full reconfigurability of a pulse in terms of chirp, envelope and central frequency by the proper control of the second-order dispersion and the incoherent optical source power distribution, achieving large values of time-bandwidth product.

Experimental photonic generation of chirped pulses using nonlinear dispersion-based incoherent processing.
We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, a chirped microwave pulses generator based on the processing of an incoherent optical signal by means of a nonlinear dispersive element. Different capabilities have been demonstrated such as the control of the time-bandwidth product and the frequency tuning increasing the flexibility of the generated waveform compared to coherent techniques. Mo...

In this paper, we investigate the evolution of supercontinuum and femtosecond optical pulses generation through square lattice elliptical-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) at 1550 nm by using both full-vector multipole method (M.P.M) and novel concrete algorithms: symmetric split-step Fourier (SSF) and fourth order Runge Kutta (RK4) which is an accurate method to solve the general nonlinear...
متن کاملCoupled Resonator Optical Waveguides
Properties of the recently introduced family of coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) are reviewed, particularly with reference to CROWs designed as planar waveguides in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs to enhance nonlinear interactions and develop novel all-optical information processing devices. Topics covered include: pulse propagation both in the nondispersive approximation and...
متن کاملCoherent Microwave Generation in a Nonlinear Photonic Crystal
We propose a new approach for generating coherent microwaves in a nonlinear photonic crystal through optical rectification. In a photonic crystal, the reciprocal vector and dispersion of the group velocity can be used to both compensate for the velocity mismatch between the generated microwave and the pump light. We show that coherent microwave radiation from kilohertz to terahertz can be gener...
متن کاملPolarity-reversed ultra-wideband monocycle pulse generation with dual-channel multicasting in a photonic crystal fiber
This paper proposes and demonstrates a novel scheme of a two-channel-output ultra-wideband monocycle pulse generator consisting of a 100 m dispersion-flattened highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber and two optical bandpass filters. Based on the cross-phase modulation effect in a dispersion-flattened highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber, two polarity-reversed ultra-wideband monocycle pulses...
