Coherence-Free Microwave Photonic Bandpass Filter Using a Frequency-Shifting Recirculating Delay Line

A new microwave photonic filter that realizes a high-resolution bandpass filter response with coherence-free operation and without the limitations of phase-induced intensity noise is presented in this paper. It is based on a frequency-shifting recirculating delay line, which can simultaneously achieve a multitap, high-resolution filter and a very large suppression of noise, while also enabling the use of a conventional narrow-linewidth laser source without suffering from coherent interference effects. Experimental results demonstrate a filter $Q$ value of 200 and an SNR improvement of 40.3 dB compared to conventional recirculating delay line structures.      

Novel Continuously Tunable Microwave Photonic Bandpass Filter

A new technique for tuning the passband frequency of a microwave photonic bandpass filter is presented. It is based on controlling the polarization state of the signal in an amplified recirculating delay line loop with a polarizer at the output. A fixed wavelength laser can be used as an optical source. The filter has a sharp passband, which can be tuned continuously while maintaining the same passband width. Experimental results demonstrate continuous tuning capability of the high-resolution bandpass filter.     

Widely Tunable, High-FSR, Coherence-Free Microwave Photonic Notch Filter

A new structure that can realize widely tunable microwave photonic notch filtering, high free spectral range (FSR), and coherence-free operation simultaneously, is presented. It is based on a Sagnac loop interferometer that comprises an off-loop-center electroabsorption modulator, and a wavelength dependent delay in the Sagnac loop. The structure is simple, and has no coherent interference or phase induced intensity noise limitations. Experimental results demonstrate both continuous and discrete widely tunable notch filters, high frequency and high FSR, and coherence-free low-noise operation with very deep notches in excess of 40 dB.     

Switchable Coherence-Free Microwave Photonic Notch Filter Using a Pair of Intensity Modulators

A simple switchable coherence-free microwave photonic filter configuration is presented. It is based on a pair of intensity modulators modulating an optical signal at different times. The design is free from the velocity mismatch problem of an electrooptic modulator. This all-optical structure realizes two-tap filters with the capability of switching the sign of one of the taps to positive or negative. The sign depends on whether the linear slopes of the transfer functions of the two intensity modulators at their respective bias points are the same or opposite. The case of a phase shift between the two radio-frequency drive signals is also considered. Measured results confirm the theoretical expressions and demonstrate a stable switchable notch filter response.

Double Coupler Amplified Recirculating Delay Line Microwave Photonic Bandpass Filter

Theoretical and experimental investigations on a double coupler amplified recirculating delay line (ARDL) microwave photonic bandpass filter are presented. These show that the system involves both coherent and incoherent summation of optical signals. This enables a higher order filter transfer function to be realized, which results in a high-performance frequency response that cannot be achieved by the conventional single coupler ARDL structure. Experimental results are presented that demonstrate a sharp, high skirt selectivity and high stopband rejection level bandpass filter response.     

Photonic Microwave Bandpass Filter With Negative Coefficients Using a Polarization Modulator

A novel photonic microwave bandpass filter with negative coefficients implemented using a polarization modulator (PolM) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. In the proposed filter, a lightwave from a tunable laser source (TLS) is sent to a PolM, with the incident lightwave adjusted to have its polarization direction aligned at an angle of plusmn45deg to the principal axes of the PolM. A microwave signal is applied to the PolM through its RF port. Thanks to the polarization modulation in the PolM, two complementary microwave signals with identical amplitudes carried by two optical carriers with orthogonal polarizations are generated. The two complementary optical microwave signals are then sent to an optical delay line consisting of one section or two sections of polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF), with the polarization directions aligned with the fast and slow axes of the PMF. A photonic microwave bandpass filter with two or four taps is obtained

A Novel Photonic Microwave Filter With Infinite Impulse Response

A novel design of a photonic microwave filter with infinite impulse response is presented and demonstrated experimentally, ft overcomes the problems due to optical coherence. The design exhibits substantial flexibility, permitting easy and continuous tunability of the free spectral range. In particular, when a Mach-Zehnder modulator is used in the filter, the passband of the filter response can be changed to stopband and vice versa. The design also provides scope for cascading more stages. Theoretical analysis and measured results are presented, showing a very good match between them.
