The performance of relatively complex photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is now reaching
such high levels that the long sought goal of realizing low-cost,-size,-weight, and-power …

Two different techniques were used to extend the dynamic range of analog optical links
operating at microwave frequencies. The link noise figure was reduced by adjusting the bias …

We explore the advantages that integrated microwave photonics (IMWP) can bring to access
networks. We first of all review the most common architectures of radio access networks …

In this paper, we present a coherent receiver based on an optical phase-locked loop (PLL)
for linear phase demodulation. The receiver concept is demonstrated at low frequency. For …

We present a digital postprocessing linearization technique to efficiently suppress dynamic
distortions added to a wideband signal in an analog optical link. Our technique achieves up …

A method to realize a highly linear microwave photonics link is proposed based on the dual-
drive dual-parallel Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM). The scheme theoretically eliminates …

A novel digital signal processing-based coherent receiver for phase-modulated radio-over-
fiber (RoF) optical links is presented and demonstrated experimentally. Error-free …

We demonstrate a new technique for improving the linearity of a microwave photonic signal
transmission link. The method employs a single conventional lithium-niobate phase …

Lowering the operating voltage of electro-optic modulators is desirable for a variety of
applications, most notably in analog photonics and digital data communication. In particular …

Heterodyne optical phase-lock loops (OPLLs) enable the precise electronic control over the
frequency and phase of a semiconductor laser (SCL) locked to a ldquomasterrdquo …
