Photonic Synthesis and Processing of Ultrabroadband Radio-Frequency Waveforms
Abstract
The overall objective of this project was to investigate the use of broadband photonic techniques, initially developed in the context of ultrafast optics, for synthesis and processing of ultrabroadband radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic signals, with an emphasis of signals beyond the speed and bandwidth limits of direct electronic solutions. Although much of the work performed falls into FCC's 3.1-10.6 GHz UWB band, our methods are directly applicable also to higher frequency bands, with results demonstrated up to 50 GHz.
