A Novel Photonic Vector-Sum Phase Shifter Using Polarization Maintaining Fibers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose and demonstrate a novel photonic phase shifter based on vector summation technique using polarization maintaining fibers (PMF). The phase change is achieved by controlling the modulator bias point and the polarization state of the signal injected into PMF. By controlling PMF length, 2π phase change is possible at microwave and millimeter wave frequencies.

A novel multichannel vector sum phase shifter that is suitable for phased array antenna applications is demonstrated. Each channel is implemented using a distinct optical wavelength. Selective control of each channel is performed using an acousto-optic polarization coupler. The concept is successfully demonstrated for two individually controlled channels. For each channel, a continuously variab...

In this paper, a new X band Metamaterial (MTM) based ferrite phase shifter is presented. The phase shifter is excited by circular polarized wave base on combination of TE10 and TE01 modes in a square waveguide. In order to synthesize negative refractive index metamaterial (NIM), negative permeability of ferrite slabs in extraordinary mode is mixed with the negative permitivity of printed period...
متن کاملExperimental study of polarization properties of highly birefringent photonic crystal fibers.
We analyze experimentally the polarization properties of highly nonlinear small-core photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with no intentional birefringence. The properties of recently emerged polarization maintaining PANDA PCFs are also investigated. The wavelength and temperature dependence of phase and group delay of these fibers are examined in the telecommunications wavelength range. Compared to ...
متن کاملLinear photonic radio frequency phase shifter using a differential-group-delay element and an optical phase modulator.
We demonstrate a stable and linear photonic radio frequency (RF) phase shifter based on a differential-group-delay element and the polarization sensitive effect of an optical phase modulator. The phase shift can be tuned continuously over 360 degrees for RF signals over 40GHz with an electrical control voltage from -7.5 to +7.5V.
