ACP-OPLL Photonic Integrated Circuits for High Dynamic Range RF/Photonic links

چکیده
Fiber-optic links are attractive for transmitting microwave/millimeter wave signals for applications such as radar, imaging and astronomy. However, current fiber-optic links that employs intensity modulation and direct detection suffer from limited spurious free dynamic range (SFDR). For solution, a new coherent fiber-optic link using linear phase modulation/demodulation has been proposed. The new link should be able to achieve an SFDR two orders of magnitude higher. The key for this link is an Optical Phase Locked Loop (OPLL) linear phase demodulator. In this paper we describe the design and preliminary measurements for the first generation ACP-OPLL photonic integrated circuits.

Monolithic integration of high linearity attenuated counter-propagating optical phase-locked loop coherent receiver
Introduction: Coherent phase modulated RF/photonic links have been proposed [1, 2] to realise high dynamic range analogue optical links, which require the use of an optical phase-locked loop (OPLL) as a linear phase demodulator. Through feedback, the OPLL forces the output phase response of a local optical phase modulator to mirror the phase of an incoming optical signal. Since high loop gain a...
