Microphotonic RF Receiver Components
Abstract
A novel microphotonic RF wireless receiver that exploits nonlinear modulation in a LiNbO3 microdisk to achieve direct photonic down-conversion from a RF carrier without using any high-speed electronic elements has been demonstrated. Laboratory experiments include receiving a wireless Ku band RF signal by conversion to an optical carrier, processed in the optical domain, and then extracting base band information using self-homodyne direct detection.
