The two cascaded EAMs are driven by the same low radio frequency (RF) signal but with certain phase shift to suppress odd-order optical sidebands and enhance second order sidebands to obtain frequency doubling and quadrupling. It is shown that RF modulation voltage, phase shift between the two EAMs, and their bias voltages are the keys to be adjusted to efficiently generate high quality mm-wave signal. Experimental proof of concept is also demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":370693,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129629540","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 microwave photonics applications, it has been found that some analog functions such as optical-phase locked loops (OPLLs) can be greatly improved and enabled with PIC technology. Primary reasons are significantly reduced path lengths that enable much higher loop bandwidths and very stable optical paths enabling low noise coherent summing of optical signals. In this paper significant advances in PIC technology will be summarized. Integrated PIC coherent receivers and phase-locked transmitter arrays using OPLLs will be reviewed. Progammable PIC microwave photonic filters will also be briefly discussed.","PeriodicalId":370693,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126705215","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}
