Optical and photonic techniques provide a unique capability to spatially process microwave and millimeter-wave signals in ways that will provide novel capabilities for broadband antenna array transmitter and receivers. Initial flight tests of such arrays for passive millimeter-wave imaging applications have proven successful and further work is expanding the capabilities of these arrays to RADAR and communications transceivers.

Monolithic photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have a long history reaching back more than 40 years. During that time, and particularly in the past 15 years, the technology has matured and the application space grown to span sophisticated tunable diode lasers, 40 Gb/s electrical-to-optical signal converters with complex data formats, wavelength multiplexors and routers, as well as RF and other sensors. Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has developed a complete InGaAsP PIC capability supporting the needs of U.S. government that may be of interest to industry. This talk will review the Sandia PIC capability and highlight the unique strengths and applications. Examples will be provided from recent R&D activity.

Single event effect susceptibility of several commercial optical transceivers were studied. The results and the performances of the transceivers based on Weibull fit are discussed. Based on results, we conclude that commercial components need to reinforce in order to be suitable for space application.

We have demonstrated an RF photonic receiver with agile tunable reception center frequency as well as bandwidth. The RF Q-factor of the receiver was modified from unity to 30,000, and the frequency was changed from 30 MHz to 3 GHz. The device is realized for VHF/UHF tactical radio applications; however, the technology allows modifying the center frequency of the receiver within much broader frequency range. The receiver front-end paves a way for development of a new generation of agile multi-octave tunable RF photonic devices. This research was supported by the Office of Naval Research (Contract #N00014-12-C-0166).

Microwave photonics (MWP) is an emerging field in which the radio signals are generated, distributed, processed and analysed using the strength of photonics. It is a disruptive technology which enables various functionalities which are not feasible in only the microwave or electronic domain. A particular aspect that has gained a significant interest recently is the use of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology in this field, i.e., integrated microwave photonics (IMWP) [1, 2, 3]. A field where IMWP can have a strong impact is the one of phased array antennas (PAA) for next generation mobile (5G) and Satcom networks. Such arrays offer a number of attractive characteristics, including a conformal array profile, beamforming (beam shaping and beam steering), interference nulling and the capability to generate multiple antenna beams simultaneously. In many cases, however, the performance of a phased array is limited by the static characteristics of the beamforming network (BFN) used. It is generally desired to realize beamformers with broad instantaneous bandwidth, continuous amplitude and delay tunability and, at the same time, capable of feeding large arrays. This, however, is very challenging to achieve using electronics only.
