Critical Performance Enhancement of Ultrahigh-Bandwidth Microwave Photonic Links through Nonlinear Photonic Signal Processing

Abstract

In the first quarter we have focused primarily on the amplitude-encoded link, distortion correction, and RIN transfer. We have experimentally analyzed the amplitude encoded link for gain and 3rd order distortion and are identifying the proper conditions for maximizing the overall spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of the link. In addition, we have investigated new methods for cascaded four-wave mixing (FWM) through a multi-stage nonlinear interaction. Finally, we are performing numerical simulations of the transfer of laser relative intensity noise (RIN) and quantum noise through the cascaded FWM process.
