A novel, reflective, high performance microring sensing probe based on narrowband microwave photonic notch filtering is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The system employs an integrated silicon-on-insulator microring resonator with a reflective loop as a sensing probe, which allows the sensed light to be reflected back and measured from a point source, thus enabling the capability to perform remote measurements at locations with limited accessibility. To enhance the beating cancellation of the optically filtered sideband, a programmable wideband optical equalization filter is used to create an amplitude equalization profile of the sidebands, thus achieving a desirable narrowband microwave photonic notch filter, which is a key feature for implementing sensor interrogation systems with high resolution. As an application example, a highly sensitive temperature sensor which monitors the temperature dependent notch locations of the narrowband microwave photonic notch filters has been experimentally verified. It achieves a high sensitivity of 11.57 GHz/$^{mathrm{o}}$C, which provides the capability to detect and convert a small temperature change into a large variation in the radio frequency domain with clear notch frequency shifts in the order of several hundred MHz.

A RF-photonic limiter capable of frequency agnostic suppression of strong RF interferers was demonstrated. By using stimulated Brillouin scattering in a Brillouin laser comprising polarization maintaining GeAsSe micro-structured optical fiber tapers, limiting of multiple simultaneous in-band interferers can be achieved with minimal degradation of wideband signals.

We report the first 60 GHz wireless link implementing a uni-traveling carrier photodiode (UTC-PD) at the transmitter and a photonic integrated chip incorporating a UTC-PD at the receiver. In this demonstration, a 64.5 GHz signal carrying 1 Gbps on-off keying (OOK) data was generated by heterodyning two optical tones into the transmitter UTC-PD. The signal was transmitted using a 24 dBi gain parabolic antenna over a wireless distance of three metres before reaching an identical receiver antenna. At the receiver, an electronic mixer was used to down-convert the received signal into an intermediate frequency of 12.5 GHz. The local oscillator to the electronic mixer was provided by heterodyne mixing of two optical tones generated using a UTC-PD that is monolithically integrated with semiconductor lasers. The down-converted signal was acquired by a real-time oscilloscope for offline processing, which showed zero error bits in a 105 bit-long transmission.

We present ultra-low noise microwave (ULNM) signal generation based on a transfer oscillator method using an optical reference and a free-running or only weakly-locked optical frequency comb (OFC). This proof-of-principle demonstration circumvents the requirement for an optical lock of the OFC to the optical reference and the related need of highbandwidth OFC actuators. By electrically removing the phase noise contribution of the OFC from a beat-note signal between the comb and the optical reference, we are able to divide the phase noise of the optical frequency down to a radio-frequency signal without limitation by a locking bandwidth or added servo noise bumps. The measured phase noise of the generated signal at 15 GHz is mainly limited by the phase noise analyzer used in this initial evaluation and by the shot-noise of the photo-detection, leading to a noise floor lower than -150 dBc/Hz at high Fourier frequencies and -60 dBc/Hz at 1-Hz offset frequency obtained with 1,100 cross-correlations. The reported method offers many attractive possibilities, such as the use of OFCs with GHz repetition rates to make the system more compact, of potentially lower cost and even more easily transportable. In addition, a single OFC can be used for the generation of different ULNM signals from distinct optical sources as no optical lock is involved.

We are investigating the millimeter wave radar system to cover the vast space with high range resolution. These challenges are owing to the combination of 90GHz millimeter wave and Radio over Fiber (RoF) technologies. In this paper, we introduce millimeter wave radar technology networked using RoF. In addition, we introduce 2-D radar image generation from three 1-D distance measurement results. And we show the measurement results conducted in the laboratory.

In this paper, distortion effects due to the dispersion of microwave photonic notch filters (MPNF) based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) with sideband-amplitude and -phase control are investigated. Up to 8.3 MHz MPNF center frequency shift and 21 dB degradation of the stopband rejection are experimentally demonstrated. With a theoretical model, the dispersion effect is investigated in detail. The theory and simulation results show good agreement with the experimental data. On one side, the results help to ensure the excellent performance of MPNF on the other side, they can be used as a novel way for dispersion measurement.

An experimental comparison of the conversion gain and harmonic distortion performance between Switching and Modulation architectures of an all-optical photonic sampler mixer up-converter using a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier-based Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (SOA-MZI) is presented. The process of frequency up-conversion from 1 GHz to 9 GHz is evaluated. Because of their different principle of operation, the Switching architecture demonstrates higher positive conversion gain by approximately 6 dB and 8 dB for standard and differential configuration, respectively, while the Modulation architecture achieves lower harmonic distortion up to 8 dB, depending on the modulation index of the 1 GHz signal.
