RF Photonic Applications (Preprint)

Abstract

Radio Frequency (RF) photonics seeks to address high speed analog signal processing applications that are not achievable by electronics. Applications where RF photonics provide advantages include the antenna remoting of analog signals, generation of low phase noise clock signals, isolation of RF signals and many others. Specifically, the need to access higher frequencies and wider bandwidths has driven the use of RF photonics for these applications. Because of the inherent wideband nature of photonics, it is an ideal solution to address these requirements.
