We propose and experimentally demonstrate a frequency-separated model based digital pre-distortion (DPD) technique in intermediate frequency over fiber system. Frequency-separated model based DPD could mitigate distortion caused by optical and electrical components in the transmission system. To employ the proposed DPD technique, least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm is used to derive the coefficients of pre-distorting equalizer. By the proposed DPD, error vector magnitude was decreased and adjacent carrier leakage ratio was increased.

We propose a novel analog architecture for timereversing optically carried RF signals, based on a rare-earth atomic processor. Our scheme combines long processed signals duration (> 10 μs), potentially GHz bandwidth, direct access to the signal field amplitude, and compatibility with phase-modulated signals. The combination of these features makes this architecture ideal for refocusing RF signals distorted by their propagation in a reverberating environment.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a photonic THz signal generation technique combining a discrete optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) and optical frequency comb (OFC) generator. Using a microwave photonic filter (MPF), we generate an electrical oscillation up to 17.33 GHz with a phase noise of -103 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset frequency. The OEO frequency tunability is obtained by changing the bandwidth of a tunable optical band pass filter (TOBF). This can produce an electrical RF carrier from 6.58 GHz - 18.36 GHz. The OEO-driven optical comb generates 22 optical comb lines with a frequency spacing of 17.33 GHz covering a bandwidth of 360 GHz. By selecting two optical comb lines using a wavelength selective switch (WSS) and beating them in a uni-travelling carrier photodiode (UTC-PD), a THz wave is generated at 242.6 GHz with a phase noise of -78 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset frequency. This technique has potential for use in THz signal generation where it is possible to tune the THz carrier frequency by tuning the RF carrier generated from the OEO.

In this manuscript, we propose to use optical pulse compression in a dispersion managed fiber (DMF) with highly nonlinear fiber to enhance the output power in photonic-based 100-GHz RF generation. Even though the average dispersion is zero, RF gain of more than 5.0 dB can be obtained with moderate optical power to the DMF. Using four-sectioned DMF with zero average dispersion, we found the possibility of near octave-band operation in RF frequency.

This paper investigates the performance differences obtained by using four different SOAs as microwave phase shifters. All performances are evaluated in terms of measured phase shift, radiofrequency gain penalty and 3 dB bandwidth. A microwave phase shift as high as 89.3° is achieved by slow and fast light effects in a high gain extra-nonlinear SOA. In the same SOA a different response of the phase from usual CPO is observed experimentally at low frequencies for particular operating points in saturated regime. This phenomenon is theoretically analyzed by means of a small-signal analysis.

This paper reports the photonic generation of apodized non-linear frequency modulation (NLFM) microwave pulses by using a self-heterodyne scheme. Time-resolved optical spectroscopy was developed for the characterization of the laser diode chirp. By using a step-shaped current stimulus the laser chirp transfer function H(s) was obtained.With knowledge of H(s), a numerical model produced the suitable current stimulus i(t) needed to generate apodized-shaped radio frequency chirped pulses through self-heterodyning. Experiment results agreed with the numerical simulations.

Wavelength-controlled laser beam steering has been successfully demonstrated for indoor optical wireless communications (OWC). Here we demonstrate ultrafast user localization (50 million scans per second) in OWC based on real-time wavelength monitoring. A separate time stretched pulsed laser source is introduced to implement ultrafast optical wavelength (hence optical beam) scanning. A dispersion unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometric configuration creates chirped encoding in stretch optical pulses. The reflected optical wavelength from a remote user carrying the location information of the user is detected by real-time instantaneous microwave frequency detection. This new approach facilitates simultaneous ultrafast user localization and data transmission at communication C-band. A proof-of-concept experiment is carried out to verify the proposed approach.

We propose and demonstrate a configurable and flexible photonic true-time delay (PTTD) line for integrated transmitting/receiving optically controlled phased array antenna (PAA) based on combinations of cascaded linear chirped fiber Bragg grating (LCFBG). A large-scale beam steering angle close to the limit and high angle resolution can be obtained by precisely configuring the parameters including dispersion coefficient and the numbers of cascaded LCFBG; Multi-beams for different beam steering angles are acquired synchronously.
