In this talk, we review the salient features of photonics that allow them to make unique contributions towards ultra-wideband signal processing. A key component used in the RF-photonic links of these applications is the electro-optic modulator (EOM), typically of the Mach Zehnder (MZ) design. We first present, in Section 2, an optical sideband measurement approach(2) that allows us to characterize the microwave response and RF-V of MZ EOMs at frequencies beyond those supported by current swept-frequency instrumentation. In Sections 3 and 4, we summarize, respectively, the progress made in the topical areas of wideband photonic-assisted analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and RF-photonic filtering.","PeriodicalId":239122,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Avionics and Vehicle Fiber-Optics and Photonics Conference (AVFOP)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116138569","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}

Ou, Feifei Yin, Yue Zhou, Jianqiang Li, Kun Xu","doi":"10.1109/AVFOP.2016.7789941","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/AVFOP.2016.7789941","url":null,"abstract":"Single-longitudinal-mode, narrow-linewidth laser has many applications such as coherent optical communication and long distance optical sensing. One traditional way to generate this laser is using long fiber (e.g. several kilometers or even above) cavity combing stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) effect [1]. But this structure exists some intrinsic problems such as being sensitive to environment and too small longitudinal-mode interval, which may degrade the performance (e.g. frequency drifting, mode-hop or multi-longitudinal-mode operation). Another way to generate this laser is based on active feedback control, but a high-stable cavity, a high-precise algorithm and a large-bandwidth feedback loop [2] must be satisfied simultaneously. Moreover, the traditional ways can't tune lasing wavelength in wide waveband. Currently, femtosecond (fs) technology provides a new train of thought. Firstly, the mode-locked fs-laser provide an extremely wideband (20-dB bandwidth of about 100 nm commonly) spectral components, which affords the possibility of wideband wavelength tuning. Secondly, its own mode-lock mechanism grantees the high coherence between every two frequency lines and low absolute phase noise of each frequency line. If using some methods to lock its pulse repetition rate frep and carrier-envelope-offset frequency fceo [3], the fs-laser will upgrade to a stable fs-comb. The linewidth of these comb lines usually reach several Hz or even lower, which is very attractive for narrow-linewidth laser. Thus, a lot of schemes have been proposed to utilize these advantages of fs -comb in single-longitudinal-mode laser. One scheme is extracting an individual line from fs-comb directly based on fiber nonlinearity [4] or injection locking [5]. Another is using fs-comb as a reference source in optical phase locking [6]. In this paper, we propose an O-E-O frequency conversion pair to demonstrate a narrow linewidth optical source from fs-comb. This frequency conversion pair is drove by a DFB laser whose 20-dB linewidth is as large as 920 kHz. By the design of delay match in this pair, the large phase noise of DFB has been highly suppressed. Finally we obtain a low-noise radiation, whose linewidth is only 1/35 of DFB laser.","PeriodicalId":239122,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Avionics and Vehicle Fiber-Optics and Photonics Conference (AVFOP)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128510582","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}

Offering a large instantaneous bandwidth, photonic technology has been considered as a promising technique compared to pure electronic solutions. Many microwave photonic systems are being investigated to create large broadband RF receivers such as an optical filter based on multiple stages of optical ring lattices [2] used to slice spectrum and construct parallel channels and a wave scanning structure [3] to identify to-be-measured RF signals. However, in these schemes, the resolution and measurement speed are limited by external controlling signals. Recently, optical frequency comb (OFC) as a stable, accurate light source has been widely used in many high-performance signal processing and communication applications. A range of photonic channelizers based on OFC have been proposed and demonstrated [4-5]. Comparing with the conventional electronic methods, RF photonic channelizers make a breakthrough in analyzing of wideband RF spectral contents.","PeriodicalId":239122,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Avionics and Vehicle Fiber-Optics and Photonics Conference (AVFOP)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131527689","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}
