The laser uses a semiconductor optical amplifier implemented in a long fibred ring cavity with a high quality factor including an intensity modulator and a chirped Bragg filter. Active and harmonic mode-locking lead to optical pulses with repetition rates in the few GHz range and an average optical power of 6 mW. Thanks to cavity dispersion management and the use of a compact fibred external compressor, pulse duration of 4.7 ps is obtained for a repetition rate of 2.01 GHz. At this repetition rate, a timing jitter of 34 fs, for integration frequencies from 10 Hz to 1 MHz, is obtained with a non-stabilized laser source. Implemented in a compact volume with all COTS components, the developped laser source is the ideal one for a photo-switch based A/D converter.","PeriodicalId":220534,"journal":{"name":"Microwave Photonics (MWP) and the 2014 9th Asia-Pacific Microwave Photonics Conference (APMP) 2014 International Topical Meeting on","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127841868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have observed that, in most cases, efforts to increase the dynamic range have resulted in an undesired increase in the noise figure as well. This would not be unduly problematic if broadband preamplifiers with sufficiently high dynamic range were commercially available. Using the advertised performance of commercial amplifiers, however, we find that pre-amplification of analog optical links to achieve acceptable noise figure in most cases reduces the dynamic range to a level below that of links that have low noise figure without a pre-amplifier. We conclude, therefore, that minimization of noise figure without a preamplifier is of paramount importance, and efforts to “linearize” links will yield true system improvements only after significant advancements in the state of the art of amplifier and/or optical link technology are achieved.","PeriodicalId":220534,"journal":{"name":"Microwave Photonics (MWP) and the 2014 9th Asia-Pacific Microwave Photonics Conference (APMP) 2014 International Topical Meeting on","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133849016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This new technique solves the bandwidth limitation of previous gain-transparent SBS-based phase shifters, while achieving unprecedented minimum power fluctuations, as a function of phase shift. We introduce a new paradigm where the phase and amplitude of the optical carrier are controlled independently. This is achieved by controlling the power of two SBS pumps. The first pump is used to tune the optical carrier power, while the second is used to shift the phase of the same carrier. This additional degree of freedom enables unparalleled control of the RF amplitude and phase response of the phase shifter. We demonstrate 360° continuously tunable phase shift, with less than 0.25 dB output power fluctuations, over a frequency band from 1.5 to 31 GHz, limited only by the measurement equipment.","PeriodicalId":220534,"journal":{"name":"Microwave Photonics (MWP) and the 2014 9th Asia-Pacific Microwave Photonics Conference (APMP) 2014 International Topical Meeting on","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127055303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For seamless integration with the (ultra-dense) WDM infrastructure of high-capacity and longer-reach NG-PON2 networks, we propose novel radio access units (RAU) using coherent optical heterodyne detection for the generation of the millimeter-wave radio signals. The proposed CRoF concept supports the provision of multiple services over a single optical distribution network including next generation optical and wireless access services and high-capacity fixed wireless links for mobile backhaul. A proof-of-concept experiment is demonstrated in the context of backhauling. An E-band RAU utilizing CRoF is used for converting 2.5 Gb/s optical baseband data after 20 km fiber transmission to a 76 GHz wireless signal. After subsequent wireless transmission over 40 m (limited by the lab environment), the wireless E-band signal is directly reconverted to 2.5 Gb/s baseband data using a low-cost 76 GHz wireless receiver with RF envelope detection. The receiver's sensitivity is only -47 dBm for a bit error rate (BER) of 2.10-3. Within international regulations, the transmit RF power can be further increased by about 68 dB, i.e. wireless distances way beyond 2 km can be expected even in the case of rain.","PeriodicalId":220534,"journal":{"name":"Microwave Photonics (MWP) and the 2014 9th Asia-Pacific Microwave Photonics Conference (APMP) 2014 International Topical Meeting on","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116683860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
