论文摘要
光学调制可以说是微波光子（MWP）系统中最大的重要作用。调制光谱的精确合成几乎决定了MWP系统质量的所有方面，包括丢失，噪声图，线性和可以执行的功能类型。但是，对于如此关键的功能，严重缺乏生成和转换模拟光学调制的多功能性，阻止了真正独特的MWP函数的途径，包括超线性链接和低损坏高排斥过滤器。在这里，我们在全综合的硅光子电路中演示了多功能的RF光子光谱合成，从而实现了可电气的通用模拟调制转换。我们通过与可重构环谐振器网络将光谱合成电路的整体整合进行了一系列前所未有的RF滤波实验。
Optical modulation plays arguably the utmost important role in microwave photonic (MWP) systems. Precise synthesis of modulated optical spectra dictates virtually all aspects of MWP system quality including loss, noise figure, linearity, and the types of functionality that can be executed. But for such a critical function, the versatility to generate and transform analog optical modulation is severely lacking, blocking the pathways to truly unique MWP functions including ultra-linear links and low-loss high rejection filters. Here we demonstrate versatile RF photonic spectrum synthesis in an all-integrated silicon photonic circuit, enabling electrically-tailorable universal analog modulation transformation. We show a series of unprecedented RF filtering experiments through monolithic integration of the spectrum-synthesis circuit with a network of reconfigurable ring resonators.
