This paper reviews over 30 years of work on photonic analog-to-digital converters. The
review is limited to systems in which the input is a radio-frequency (RF) signal in the …

Accurate conversion of wideband multi-GHz analog signals into the digital domain has long
been a target of analog-to-digital converter (ADC) developers, driven by applications in …

The transmission and processing of signals carried by optical beams rather than by
electrical currents or radio waves has been a topic of great interest ever since the early …

Real‐time wideband digitizers are the key building block in many systems including
oscilloscopes, signal intelligence, electronic warfare, and medical diagnostics systems …

Ultra-wide-band analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion is one of the most critical problems faced
in communication, instrumentation, and radar systems. This paper presents a …

Optically sampled analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) combine optical sampling with
electronic quantization to enhance the performance of electronic ADCs. In this paper, we …

Wireless, optical, and electronic networks continue to converge, prompting heavy research
into the interface between microwave electronics, ultrafast optics, and photonic …

We report the fabrication of a reconfigurable wide-band twenty-channel second-order dual
filterbank, defined on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform, with tunable channel spacing and …

Photonic-based A/D conversion has received and continues to receive considerable
attention as an alternative approach to providing enhanced resolution and speed in high …

We describe the principle of a novel quantization scheme for all-optical analog-to-digital
conversion. The proposed quantization is realized by slicing the supercontinuum spectrum …
