The distortion characteristics of a radio-over-fiber (ROF) system that uses the relative intensity noise (RIN) reduction technique is investigated in detail. The third-order intermodulation (IM3) and spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) characteristics of this system are measured using multi-reflection configurations. It is observed that the maximum deterioration in IM3 is 4 dB. However, SFDR is improved by 7 dB as CNR exceeds 12 dB. Moreover, we measure the adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACLR) characteristics of this system in the multi-carrier transmission condition. The RIN reduction technique yields an ACLR improvement of 4.5 dB

We demonstrate a highly sensitive electro-optic (EO) sensing system without balanced detection, which is often employed for sensitivity enhancement. In the present method, sensitivity improvement is realized by modulation depth enhancement based on carrier reduction. This technique allows to increase EO signal intensity with constant received optical power. The sensitivity of 0.23 mV/Hz1/2 is achieved, which is as high as that of balanced detection

We describe and experimentally demonstrate a technique to suppress the dominant in-band analog distortion in an RF photonic link. The anisotropic electrooptic coefficient of lithium niobate is exploited to modulate orthogonally polarized fields. These fields are then combined to null the third-order distortion. This technique uses a single phase modulator, requiring no external bias or control, for a highly linear photonic microwave relay. The link is limited by fifth-order intermodulation distortion (IMD) instead of third-order IMD. For many scenarios the added complexity of heterodyne optical detection may be an appropriate cost to gain simplicity at the remote end

Since 90's microwave French MoD has supported the evaluation of photonic solutions for military systems at research level. In the same time, Telecommunication market mainly drove fibered laser and photo detector development. The goal is firstly to evaluate these telecommunication components for military applications in terms of performances and robustness, and also to plan on specific developments for applications not covered by these Telecom components. First application field was RF optic links between distant points in military systems. The benefits are in terms of weight, EM immunity, communication capacity. Another area of interest field under study is for array antenna and beam forming: photonic solutions allow wide RF bandwidth system. The objective of this paper is to present an overview of the studies sustained by French MoD and to give the future trends from DGA point of view

We report a wideband (370-2500 MHz) distributed antenna system (DAS) which uses pluggable analogue optical transceivers based on the industry standard small form-factor pluggable (SFP) format. The use of pluggable optics has a number of advantages such as hot-swappability, upgradeability and low initial cost, which has been exploited in the digital world for several years but has not been investigated to the same extend for analogue applications. In addition to the wideband system being RF signal agnostic, the system can also operate over different types of fibre, both SMF and MMF, or coaxial cable, by simply changing the transceiver module

We have implemented for the first time to our knowledge a tunable photonic filter with negative coefficients based on exploiting the cross-phase modulation (XPM) effect in a SOA Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The positive coefficient is also modulated by the SOA Mach-Zehnder interferometer in order to equalize the frequency responses of both taps. The tuning of the filter FSR is achieved by elemental fibre delay lines or by dispersive optical fibre. Carrier suppression effect has to be considered as a limitation of the operation range of the filter. Cross-phase modulation exhibits less chirp and allows higher operation bandwidth that the filter where the negative coefficients are obtained via cross-gain modulation

We present and demonstrate a technique to improve the overall dynamic range when transmitting optical single sideband with carrier signals for fiber-radio applications in an access environment. Our proposed technique not only improves the overall carrier-to-interference ratio for the radio systems but also simultaneously enables broadband baseband transmission for access networks. We show simultaneous transmission of two if signals with successful data recovery at 30 GHz with 2.5 Gb/s of baseband data
