The complex coefficient is generated using a Fourier-domain optical processor(FD-OP) to control the amplitude and phase of the optical carrier and radio-frequency(RF) phase modulation sidebands. By controlling the FD-OP,the frequency response of the filter can be tuned in the full free spectral range(FSR) without changing the shape and the FSR of the frequency response. The results show that the center frequency of the notch filter can be continuously tuned from 17.582 GHz to 29.311 GHz with FSR of 11.729 GHz. The shape of the frequency response keeps unchanged when the phase is tuned.展开更多

FWM effect of two single-frequency laser beams occurs in a highly nonlinear fiber(HNLF), and multi-wavelength optical signals are generated and used to generate the multi-tap of microwave photonic filter(MPF). The complex coefficient is generated by using a Fourier-domain optical processor(FD-OP) to control the amplitude and phase of the optical carrier and phase modulation sidebands. The results show that this filter can be changed from bandpass filter to notch filter by controlling the FD-OP. The center frequency of the notch filter can be continuously tuned from 5.853 GHz to 29.311 GHz with free spectral range(FSR) of 11.729 GHz. The shape of the frequency response keeps unchanged when the phase is tuned.展开更多

In the scheme, each CW light source is broadened and modulated by the first EAM and FM, respectively. The second EAM is introduced to flatten the ultra-wide OFC lines. By setting the wavelength spacing of light sources equal to the bandwidth of sub-OFC, an ultra-wide OFC can be obtained. Principle analysis and simulation for the scheme are performed. The results show that in the case of a single light source, a tunable and flat OFC is obtained. With the increase of light sources, the bandwidth of the generated ultra-wide OFC expands rapidly. In the case of 28 light sources, a 22 GHz ultra-wide OFC with bandwidth of 16.52 THz can be generated.展开更多
