integrated optics.Further advantages can be realized by implementing such a system in the com-plementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible silicon-on-insulator platform [3].These benefits include ultra-compact footprint resulting from high index contrast,simple integration of electrical and optical components,and low-cost while at the same time extremely high-quality plex active and passive components have been envisioned and successfully fabricated in this material system [3]–[5].An equally important consideration,however,is the performance of the interconnection medium:the waveguide or photonic wire .High-bandwidth WDM transmission schemes have been demonstrated in III–V materials without emphasizing the importance of the photonic waveguide,and without offering compatibility with the CMOS electronics platform [6],[7].Here,we confirm that the low-loss silicon-wire-waveguide technology can be used both for on-chip networks and for chip-to-chip networks,where off-chip bandwidth is crucial.In this letter,we investigate the suitability of silicon photonic wires for carrying ultrahigh-bandwidth WDM data streams.Our central result is to demonstrate the successful transmission of a 1.28-Tb/s stream through a 5-cm-long wire waveguide.The aggregate data rate,composed of 32wavelengths,each mod-ulated at 40-Gb/s,is the largest reported in a silicon photonic wire to date [8],[9].Moreover,considering the area of conven-tional semiconductor dice (typically about 1cm ),this length is sufficient to route a signal anywhere on the die,regardless of the network topology or routing scheme.Additionally,we eval-uate the interchannel crosstalk induced by nonlinearities in the photonic wire with bit-error-rate (BER)measurements.These results,made possible by the recent improvements in the design and fabrication of the low-loss silicon wires,represent a signifi-cant step toward developing a complete toolbox for PIC design.II.E XPERIMENTAL S ETUP AND W A VEGUIDE D EVICE The experimental setup [Fig.1(a)]for the BER measure-ments employs 24continuous-wave communications lasers with outputs combined by a 32-channel multiplexer with 100-GHz channel spacing.The laser wavelengths are located on theITU -band,comprising channels C22–C32,C35–C38,and C43–C51.ALiNbO modulator encodesapseu-dorandom bit sequence onto each lightwave at 10Gb/s using the nonreturn-to-zero format.The signals are then decorrelated by 425ps/nm using 25km of single-mode fiber,which results in about 3.4bits of delay between adjacent wavelengths.The light is coupled in and out of the chip through tapered fibers [Fig.1(b)].Following the silicon chip,the signal is amplified1041-1135/$25.00©2008IEEELEE et al.:ULTRAHIGH-BANDWIDTH SILICON PHOTONIC NANOWIRE WA VEGUIDES FOR

cross section.by an erbium-doped fiber ampli fier (EDFA),after which some of the power is tapped for monitoring on an optical spec-trum analyzer (OSA).One wavelength channel is selected for measurement using a tunable filter,which is followed by an at-tenuator and a receiver module consisting of a p-i-n photodiode (PIN),transimpedance ampli fier (TIA),and limiting ampli fier (LA).The detected signal is evaluated with a communications signal analyzer (CSA)and a BER tester (BERT),which is synchronized directly to the pulse pattern generator (PPG)by a 10-GHz clock source.Polarization controllers (PCs)are used throughout.The setup for the 1.28-Tb/s demonstration employs 32chan-nels,C21(1560.61nm)through C52(1535.82nm),each modu-lated at 40Gb/s and decorrelated by 94ps/nm in 5.5km of fiber,resulting in about 3bits of delay between adjacent wavelengths.In addition,a 40-Gb/s PIN-TIA replaces the former 10-Gb/s PIN-TIA-LA.The silicon photonic wire is a single-mode waveguide with a height of 220nm and a width of 520nm [Fig.1(c)].The de-vice was fabricated using the CMOS production line at the IBM T.J.Watson Research Center.Each end has an inverse-taper mode converter covered with index matching polymer,which al-lows ef ficient coupling(1dB per facet)[10].The 5-cm length was achieved by snaking the wire across the chip [Fig.1(b)],making a total of 2490-bends with bending radii of6.5m.Dispersion and nonlinear parameters of the wire are similar to those shown in previous work [11]–[13].III.E XPERIMENTS AND R ESULTSFirst,we con firm the feasibility of ultrahigh-bandwidth net-works utilizing silicon photonic wires by generating a 1.28-Tb/s data stream,composed of 3240-Gb/s wavelength channels,and propagating the stream through the 5-cm wire.The input spec-trum and a selection of eye diagrams before and after the wave-guide propagation are shown (Fig.2).A major source of degra-dation results from the ampli fication required to compensate the on-chip propagation loss(3dB/cm).It should also be noted that the polarization states of the 32channels,which are aligned prior to the multiplexer,drift slightly in the decorrelator by various amounts.Therefore,for the 40-Gb/s measurements only,the state of the PCprecedingFig.2.(a)Input spectrum for the 1.28-Tb/s signal with a resolution bandwidth of 0.06nm;(b)input (top)and output (bottom)eye diagrams for channels (from left to right)C23,C28,C46,and C51with 10ps/div.the polarization-sensitive photonic wire was optimized for each channel while viewing the eye diagram.This drifting of the states of polarization across the wavelength channels,however,arises from the manner in which we simultaneously modulate the entire spectrum with a single modulator,and then decorre-late the channels to emulate 32independent streams.In actual network implementations where independent data are encoded onto each channel separately before wavelength-multiplexing,this problem does not exist,because only a short length of fiber is required between the multiplexing and the fiber-to-chip coupling.The second experiment characterizes the crosstalk be-tween wavelength channels in the photonic wire with a peak launch power (i.e.,“1”bit power)of approximately 6dBm per channel.The BER characteristics are evaluated at 10Gb/s rather than 40Gb/s,because a 40-Gb/s BERT was not available.Receiver sensitivity curves are taken before and after propa-gation through the 5-cm wire for a single probe wavelength,C36(1548.51nm).The observed power penalty is 0.6dB (Fig.3).Then,20additional wavelength channels are enabled and passed through the silicon wire alongside the probe,with the nearest channel being greater than 3nm in wavelength from the probe.A degradation of 1.5dB in the sensitivity curve ata BERofis noticed.Next,three more wavelengths are enabled,totaling 24wavelength channels or 240Gb/s.These wavelengthsoccupy -band channels adjacent to the probe (C35,C37,and C38).The additional crosstalk from these channels further increases the power penalty by 1.1dB.Finally,a sensitivity curve is taken for the 24-channel signal before entering the photonic wire.The resulting 24-channel power penalty is 3.3dB.Given the length of the silicon photonic wire and the number of channels in the input signal,the measured penalty is quite tolerable.The reasonable overlap between the two extreme back-to-back curves (1-channel and 24-channels)in Fig.3indicates that the measured degradation is a result of crosstalk in the silicon wire,rather than crosstalk occurring elsewhere in the setup (e.g.,the EDFA).400IEEE PHOTONICS TECHNOLOGY LETTERS,VOL.20,NO.6,MARCH 15,2008Fig.3.BER curves at 10Gb/s showing wavelength crosstalk in a 5-cm wire waveguide with symbols denoting single-(),21-( ),and 24-channel ()WDM signals.Measurements are taken for signals going through (solid lines,filled symbols)and bypassing (dashed lines,open symbols)thewire.Fig.4.BER curves at 10Gb/s for a single wavelength channel injected into the 5-cm wire waveguide with more than 7dBm of peak power.Measurements are taken for signals going through ()and bypassing ()the wire.Previously,self-phase modulation (SPM)has been observed in silicon wires using picosecond pulses [12].Typically,the in-jected powers required to observe SPM are a few tens of mil-liwatts with 0.4-cm-long wires.It is important to consider the power penalty induced when high-power signals are launched into much longer wires.Fig.4shows the BER curves for a single wavelength at 1550nm with a peak (i.e.,“1”bit)power of more than 7dBm injected into the wire.The resulting 0.5-dB power penalty is within the experimental error of the previous single-channel measurement (0.6dB,shown in Fig.3),taken with a much lower launch power.(Of the seven BER curves shown in Figs.3and 4,the average of the root-mean-square (rms)errors for each curve is 0.1dB with a maximum rms error of 0.2dB.)This result con firms consistent power penalties over an input power dynamic range of more than 10dB.IV .C ONCLUSIONWe have successfully demonstrated the transport of ter-abit-per-second-scale WDM data signals using silicon photonic wires over suf ficient distances for any on-chip network.An extensive investigation of the crosstalk is performed using 10-Gb/s channels.The interchannel nonlinear processes (e.g.,cross-phase modulation and four-wave mixing)are more no-ticeable than intrachannel processes (e.g.,SPM)for signals with many wavelengths.Yet even in a 5-cm-long dense WDM 10-Gb/s link,the wire exhibits only a 3.3-dB power penalty ata BERof.Finally,single-channel 10-Gb/s measurements with input powers ranging across approximately 13dB,show no change in power penalty,indicating there could be enough power margin to meet at least a single-channel network ’s optical power budget.A CKNOWLEDGMENTThe authors would like to thank Dr.N.C.Panoiu for helpful discussions on nonlinear optics.R EFERENCES[1]ler,“Rationale and

摘要摘要随着固定网络和无线接入网络对带宽需求的急剧增长,光载射频通信(radio-over-fiber,RoF)技术因其在系统容量、带宽和移动性方面的优势受到了越来越广泛的关注。

物理光学英语The Fascinating World of Physical OpticsLight is a fundamental aspect of our universe, and the study of its behavior and interactions with matter is known as physical optics. This field of study encompasses a wide range of phenomena, from the simple reflection and refraction of light to the complex interactions of light with various materials and structures. In this essay, we will delve into the captivating world of physical optics and explore some of its key concepts and applications.At the heart of physical optics is the understanding of the nature of light itself. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, characterized by its wavelength and frequency. The wave-particle duality of light is a fundamental principle in quantum mechanics, which states that light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties. This dual nature of light is the foundation for many of the phenomena observed in physical optics.One of the most fundamental concepts in physical optics is the behavior of light as it interacts with different materials. When light encounters a surface, it can undergo reflection, refraction, orabsorption, depending on the properties of the material. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, and the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Refraction, on the other hand, occurs when light bends as it passes from one medium to another with a different refractive index. This phenomenon is responsible for the apparent bending of objects when viewed through water or a prism.Another important aspect of physical optics is the interference of light. When two or more light waves interact, they can either constructively or destructively interfere, resulting in a pattern of bright and dark regions. This phenomenon is the basis for many optical devices, such as lasers and holographic displays. Interference can also be used to measure small distances and detect the presence of thin films or coatings on surfaces.Diffraction is another fascinating concept in physical optics. When light encounters an obstacle or an aperture, it can bend and spread out, creating a diffraction pattern. This effect is particularly noticeable when light passes through a small slit or a grating, and it is the underlying principle behind many optical instruments, such as telescopes and microscopes.In addition to these fundamental concepts, physical optics also encompasses the study of polarization, which describes the orientation of the electric field in a light wave. Polarization can beused to study the structure and properties of materials, as well as to create specialized optical devices, such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and optical filters.The applications of physical optics are vast and varied, spanning a wide range of industries and fields of study. In telecommunications, for example, optical fibers are used to transmit data over long distances, taking advantage of the low-loss and high-bandwidth properties of light. In medicine, lasers are used for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as eye surgery and cancer treatment. In the field of astronomy, telescopes and other optical instruments are essential for observing and studying the universe.Furthermore, the principles of physical optics are also applied in the development of new materials and technologies. For instance, the study of photonic crystals, which are materials with a periodic structure that can control the flow of light, has led to the creation of novel optical devices and sensors.In conclusion, physical optics is a fascinating and dynamic field of study that encompasses a wide range of phenomena and applications. From the fundamental principles of light behavior to the cutting-edge developments in optical technologies, the study of physical optics continues to push the boundaries of ourunderstanding of the physical world and the universe around us. As we continue to explore and unravel the mysteries of light, the possibilities for new discoveries and innovations in this field are truly limitless.。
微波光子信道化接收技术英语Microwave Photonic Channelized Reception Technology.Microwave photonic technology, which converts microwave signals into optical signals for transmission, has emerged as a key enabler for high-speed and high-bandwidth communication networks. This technology offers significant advantages, including ultra-high bandwidth, large capacity, and low loss. Among the crucial components of microwave photonic systems, microwave photonic channelized receivers play a pivotal role in enabling high-performance communication networks.The microwave photonic channelized receiver is a device that converts photonic signals back into microwave signals. Its operation relies on the use of optical components, such as fibers and gratings, along with microwave componentslike filters and delay lines. The basic principle involves the conversion of optical signals to microwave signals using optical devices, followed by signal conditioning anddemodulation using microwave components.The structure of a microwave photonic channelized receiver typically comprises several key elements, including a light source, optical modulator, optical detector, optical fiber delay line, and microwave filter. The light source generates the optical signal, which is then modulated by the optical modulator. The modulated optical signal is then converted into an electrical signal by the optical detector. The optical fiber delay line introduces a time delay in the signal, while the microwave filter removes any unwanted signals. Commonly used optical detection technologies include photodiodes and photomultipliers.A significant advantage of microwave photonic channelized receivers is their ability to overcome the bandwidth limitations of traditional electronic devices. Due to the enormous bandwidth capabilities of optical components, these receivers can significantly expand the frequency detection range. Furthermore, they enable the miniaturization of surveillance equipment, reducing itssize, weight, and power consumption.The core concept of photonic channelized receivers, similar to traditional channelized receivers, is thedivision of the wideband spectrum into multiple narrowband sub-bands. Each sub-band is then processed individually using heterodyning techniques. However, in the case of photonic channelized receivers, this division andprocessing are performed in the optical domain. Essentially, optical components are used to emulate the functionality of analog or digital filters in traditional electronic systems.Microwave photonic channelized arrays, which convert wideband microwave-modulated optical signals into multiple narrowband modulated optical signals through optical filtering, are a key component of microwave photonic channelized receivers. By combining high-speed electro-optic modulators and low-speed photodetector arrays, microwave photonic channelized receivers can be realized. This approach overcomes the limitations of traditional microwave photonic links, which typically involve direct photoelectric conversion of wideband modulated opticalsignals into radio frequency electrical signals for processing.The application of microwave photonic channelizers, the optical processing elements within microwave photonic systems, is diverse and widespread. Initially, they found their application in military domains, particularly in radar and electronic warfare systems, to meet the demands of modern warfare. However, their potential applications are not limited to military use cases. Civilianapplications in areas like satellite communications, wireless networks, and radio astronomy are also being explored.In conclusion, microwave photonic channelized reception technology offers a promising approach to address the challenges posed by the increasing bandwidth requirements of modern communication systems. By leveraging the unique properties of optical components, it enables therealization of high-performance communication networks with expanded frequency detection capabilities, reduced equipment size, weight, and power consumption. Astechnology continues to evolve, the potential applications and impact of microwave photonic channelized receivers will only grow.。
瞬时频率测量(IFM ,instantaneous frequencymeasurement )技术是指在脉冲持续的短周期内对被测信号的频率进行快速测量[1]。

Microwave Photonic Filters Robert A. Minasian, Xiaoke Yi, and Erwin H. W. Chan School of Electrical and Information EngineeringInstitute of Photonics and Optical ScienceUniversity of Sydney, Sydney, NSW2006, AustraliaInvited PaperAbstract- Photonic signal processing offers the prospect of realising ex tremely high multi-GHz sampling frequencies, overcoming inherent electronic limitations. This stems from the intrinsic ex cellent delay properties of optical delay lines. These processors provide new capabilities for realising high time-bandwidth operation and high-resolution performance. In-fibre signal processors are inherently compatible with fibre optic microwave systems, and can provide connectivity with in-built signal conditioning. Recent new methods in wideband signal processors including high-resolution, arbitrary response, tunability and programmable processing, are presented.II.G ENERAL RESPONSE, MULTIPLE-TAP PHOTONIC SIGNALPROCESSORSFIR filter structures are required to realise arbitrary response. Moreover, to achieve high resolution, a large number of taps is needed. There is also the requirement for low-noise operation.A novel structure to realize a high-order microwave photonic filter structure is shown in Fig. 1 [2], [3]. It is based on a topology that uses a multiple spectrum sliced source obtained using liquid crystal techniques in conjunction with a wavelength mapping scheme that enables wavelength re-use. The structure comprises a broadband optical source obtained from the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of an erbium doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) operating over the entire C-band that is spectrum sliced using a programmable wavelength selective switch (WSS) based on a two-dimensional array ofI.I NTRODUCTIONPhotonic signal processing using optical delay lines is a powerful technique for processing high bandwidth signals. Photonic signal processing can overcome the inherent bottlenecks caused by limited sampling speeds in conventional electrical signal processors. The attractive and unique delay properties of optical waveguides have spurred the development of novel photonic signal processor structures that can exploit the high time-bandwidth product capabilities of this approach. These new techniques transcend the limitations of existing electronic methods, and enable new types structures to be realised, which not only can process high-speed signals but which can also realise reconfigurable operation.The unique functional advantages of photonic signal processors, including the inherent speed, parallel signal processing capability, low-loss (independent of RF frequency) delay lines, very high sampling frequency ability, and EMI immunity, have led to diverse applications. In this paper, we focus on microwave photonic filter applications, and discuss recent new methods that can address important performance issues. We describe novel processor topologies that tackle the problem of realising photonic signal processors which enable general responses with multiple-taps to be obtained. We also describe techniques that generate high-resolution, high-Q performance. Finally we present photonic signal processor structures that can achieve tuneable or reconfigurable signal processing.Figure 1.Schematic of the microwave photonic filter architecture.The WSS provides multi-channel narrowband optical filtering with controllable channel attenuation and arbitrary center wavelength for each channel. The multi-wavelength source is then intensity modulated by the RF signal via an electro-optic modulator (EOM). The modulated optical signal is then split into two branches and is fed to two nominally identical chirped fibre Bragg gratings (CFBGs) but which have opposite group delay slopes. Hence a given wavelength sees two complementary group delays. A further new aspect of this concept is the introduction of a time delay unit (T), i.e.a length of fibre placed before the CFBG in Branch 2. Hence, a wavelength, reflected from the CFBG in Branch 2 undergoes an additional delay of time 2T, compared to that reflected fromFig. 2. Measured RF response for the 158-tap microwave photonic filter.Branch 1. The reflected and delayed signals are then detected by photodetectors in each branch and are combined at an electrical combiner.Experimental results for a high-order FIR microwave photonic filter designed to realize 158 taps, are shown in Fig. 2. The results demonstrate a high-resolution microwave photonic filter at 6.67 GHz, with a measured 3 dB bandwidth of 37.5 MHz. The high-resolution filter response comprises 158 taps, which to our knowledge is the highest number of taps for a microwave photonic FIR filter reported to date.III. H IGH -RESOLUTION , HIGH -Q PHOTONIC SIGNALPROCESSORS Many applications require high frequency selectivity and high-Q bandpass filtering. This generically requires many taps in the impulse response of the discrete time signal processor. Filters based on a recursive optical delay line can generate a large number of optical taps using simple structures.Conventional high-resolution, high-Q photonic processors [5]-[6], are principally limited by the excessive phase induced intensity noise (PIIN) that is generated by the optical interference in summing the multiple delayed optical signals. To obtain a robust transfer characteristic irrespective of environmental perturbations, conventional approaches have required the use of an incoherent approach, in which the coherence of the light source is made smaller than the minimum delay time of the processor. However, when the light from the same optical source is delayed in different optical paths and then re-combined together in the optical domain, the phase noise of the light is converted to intensity noise [7], and this problem compounds for recursive delay lines that have a large number of taps. This is important, because high-resolution processors require a large number of taps, thus efforts to increase the resolution of the processor are accompanied by an increase in the dominant PIIN noise.A structure for realising a high-Q processor with extremely low PIIN generation is based on a frequency-shifting recirculating delay line (FS-RDL) [1]. The central idea is to inject modulated light from a laser, into a frequency-shifting loop. Each recirculation imposes a frequency shift on the light and produces a time delay T , and constitutes a tap in the impulse response. This processor structure can create many taps because numerous recirculations can occur. However, the most important point in this concept is that this method recombines signals at the photodetector at different wavelengths, so that the phase induced intensity noise appears at the beat frequency corresponding to the frequency shift, which falls outside the photodetector bandwidth and is automatically filtered out. This enables both a large number of taps to be generated, and also suppresses the dominant PIIN noise. Moreover, since every tap generated by the structure will have a different wavelength, the filter is essentially coherence free, enabling the use of a narrow linewidth telecommunications-type laser as the optical source for the system. Results have shown a high-Q filter with a large PIIN reduction [8]. Recently, Q values of 407 have beenexperimentally demonstrated.An extension to this concept to realise a structure that can modify the tap amplitudes to enable windowing to be applied to the resultant impulse response [9], is shown in Fig. 3. In the time domain, the taps are separated by a constant time delay corresponding to the recirculation time. In the optical frequency domain, the taps are separated by a constant optical frequency determined by the frequency of the optical frequency shifter. Since the taps have different optical frequencies, a wavelength dependent element at the output of the loop can be used to control the tap amplitudes, thus offering the means to alter the signal processor impulse response shape. By designing the spectrum shape of the wavelength dependent element together with the system parameters of the FS-RDL, windowing is applied to the impulse response of the signal processor. Hence, a high performance bandpass filter response can be realised. Note that the structure shown in Fig. 3 is an FIR signal processor even though it is formed by a recirculating structure.Optical frequency shifterFig. 3.Topology of the high performance coherence-free microwavephotonic signal processor.Fig. 4 shows experimentally measured results thatdemonstrate high-resolution bandpass filter operation, with a shape factor of only 3.1, and a bandpass filter stopband attenuation of over 70 dB.Optical couplerfilter: measured (solid), predicted (dots).In addition to enabling a large number of tap to begenerated using a simple configuration for high-resolutionsignal processing, this signal processor has no coherentinterference and phase noise limitations, and offers coherence-free, high-resolution, high-performance filtering operation.IV.P ROGRAMMABLE C OMPLEX COEFFICIENT T UNEABLEAND RECONFIGURABLE SIGNAL PROCESSORFilters that can be synthesized with complex-coefficientsoffer the highly desirable advantage of enabling the filtercentre frequency to be tuned without changing its responseshape, its basic time delay, or its free-spectral range (FSR).A new all-optical microwave photonic filter structure thatcan realize arbitrary programmable complex coefficients,multiple taps, and which offers shape-invariant frequencytuning over the full FSR range [10], is shown in Fig. 5. It isbased on a new optical RF phase shifter that uses aprogrammable wavelength processor (PWP) comprising atwo-dimensional array of LCoS pixels [4], which enablessingle-sideband (SSB) modulation and the imparting ofarbitrary optical phase shifts from 0 to 360q to the carriers andSSB sidebands, to be achieved simultaneously.Fig. 5. Structure of the microwave photonic signal processor.The PWP performs two functions. The first is to create anarray of SSB modulations by eliminating one sideband of eachoptical carrier, as shown in Fig. 5. The second function of thePWP is to impress phase shifts on the optical carriers and theSSB sidebands,which are directly translated to the RF signalafter detection. The optical transfer function including bothoptical phase and amplitude processing can be software-controlled across the entire C band of parallel operation. Thisenables the generation of arbitrary, complex filters as well ascontrol of filter bandwidth and center frequency.The advantages of this approach are that it can realize bothmultiple taps and tuning over the full FSR range. Moreover,since the PWP can be programmed to control the amplitudeand phase of each spectral component, it enables multi-tapsignal processing with arbitrary complex coefficients simplyby versatile software programming of the PWP only, withoutchanging the rest of the structure. This enables multi-tapbandpass filters with arbitrary complex coefficients to berealized, which enables shape-invariant reconfigurability andtunability over the full range of the FSR.V.C ONCLUSIONPhotonic signal processing can realise multi-GHz samplingfrequencies, overcoming inherent electronic limitations.Recent new methods in wideband signal processing, whichaddress the challenge of realising photonic signal processorsthat exhibit high-resolution, arbitrary response, programmabletunability and low noise processing, have been presented.These processors provide new capabilities for the realisationof high-performance and high-resolution signal processing.A CKNOWLEDGMENTThis work was supported by the Australian ResearchCouncil.

Time-Bandwidth Product of the Photonic Time-Stretched Analog-to-Digital Converter Yan Han and Bahram Jalali,Senior Member,IEEEAbstract—The time-bandwidth product of the photonic time-stretched system is modeled in terms of physical system ing the time-bandwidth product as figure-of-merit, the performances of optical double-sideband and single-side-band(SSB)intensity modulation are compared,and optical SSB intensity modulation is identified as a potential solution to extend the system’s time-bandwidth product.An SSB-modulated time-stretched system is theoretically analyzed and experimen-tally demonstrated.As an important practical consideration,the analytical model relating the system performance to the phase and amplitude mismatches in the SSB modulator is presented.The results show that the system is tolerant to such unavoidable mis-matches.Experiments using commercially available components suggest that the dispersion-induced power penalty can be kept below2.5dB over4–20GHz bandwidth for any stretch factor. Additional experiments demonstrating120-GSamples/s real-time digitization of a20-GHz SSB-modulated signal are also reported.

Among the advantages are the following.The signal bandwidth is reduced in the time-stretched system while unchanged in the sample-interleaved array.Hence,the time-stretched system not only increases the sampling rate,but also is more immune to sample-clock jitter.This paper is concerned with properties of the single-channel system and,hence,the capture of time-lim-Manuscript received January25,2003;revised March22,2003.This work was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency under the Photonic Analog-to-Digital Converter Program.The authors are with the Optoelectronic Circuits and Systems Laboratory, Department of Electrical Engineering,University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles,CA90095USA(e-mail:yhan@).Digital Object Identifier10.1109/TMTT.2003.814313(a)(b)Fig.1.Conceptual block diagram for:(a)single-channel and(b)multichannel TS-ADC.The single-channel TS-ADC can capture the transient signal,while the multichannel TS-ADC is able to capture the continuoussignal.Fig. 2.Block diagram of the photonic time-stretched ADC.Time-to-wavelength plots are used to illustrate the stretch process.Tstretched in a second spool of fiber before photodetection and digitization by a moderate-speed electronic ADC.Based on this method,130-GSample/s digitization of time-limited signals has recently been demonstrated[4].The inputtime-aperturephase shift over a broad bandwidth is difficult to achieve,and typical hybrid couplers used for this purpose exhibit residual amplitude and phase imbalance over a broad bandwidth[11].This results in imperfect sideband suppression and will impact the performance of the TS-ADC system.Therefore,it is not clear whether an SSB-modulated time-stretch system will improve the time-bandwidth product of the TS-ADC in practice,particularly over a wide RF bandwidth.This paper is organized as follows.Section II describes the physical model of the time-stretched system and quantifies the limits on its time-bandwidth product for both DSB and SSB-modulation configurations.In addition,it discussed the special case when the signal is passband and the associated special de-sign.Section III describes the analysis of the SSB time-stretched technique and quantifies the sensitivity to amplitude and phase errors in the SSB modulator.The analysis shows that,fortu-itously,the TS-ADC system is tolerant to unavoidable phase and amplitude imbalance in the SSB modulator,implying that optical SSB intensity modulation is a practical solution to ex-tending the system’s time-bandwidth product.In Section IV, we present the experimental demonstration of a time-stretched ADC with the SSB modulation.The experiments demonstrate 120-GSample/s real-time capture of a20-GHz SSB-modulated microwavesignal.Fig.3.Power penalty induced by fiber dispersion in time-stretched ADC using optical DSB intensity modulation.The solid line is for zero-chirp modulation and the dashed line is for chirped modulation.II.T IME-B ANDWIDTH P RODUCTThe fundamental performance of the time-stretched system, shown in Fig.2,is described by the following three expressions. The time aperture is givenby,where(1)forin-creases the dispersion penalty and reduces the RF bandwidth. This tradeoff renders neither the time aperture,nor the band-width capable of assessing the performance,alone.The amount of information contained in one segment is pro-portional to the ratio of the segment length(the timeaperture).The Nyquist sam-pling theorem relates the maximum sample interval or equiv-alently minimum samplingfrequency.As-suming sampling at the Nyquistrate.Fig. 4.Maximum achievable time-bandwidth product for a given3-dB bandwidth(in the case of a baseband signal)or center frequency(in the case of a passband signal)in a DSB modulated time-stretched ADC.Zero-chirp modulation using a push–pull MZ modulator is assumed.A.Time-Bandwidth Product for Optical DSB Intensity Modulation(Baseband Signal)From(1),the3-dB baseband bandwidth of the time-stretchedpreprocessor is equalto,the time-bandwidth product of the baseband DSB modulation system can be obtained asfollows:m and supercontinuum bandwidths of10,20,and40nm,respectively.Clearly,there is a limit on the achievabletime-bandwidth product for a given RF bandwidth.The above results were obtained for a zero-chirp modulationachievable in a push–pull MZ modulator.The time-bandwidthproduct could be higher when chirped modulation is employed.When the chirp is opposite to that introduced by fiber disper-sion,the dispersion penalty can be mitigated.Chirped modula-tion can be achieved using a single-arm MZ modulator biasedat the quadrature point.In this case,(1)is modifiedtoth sidelobeis(4)for(5)where the minimum passband samplingfrequencyby(1)is similar to the dispersion penalty observed in RF fiber-optic links although,for a given fiber length,its mag-nitude is less due to the stretch process[6].Recognizing this similarity,optical SSB intensity modulation can be employed for mitigating the dispersion penalty in the TS-ADC system[7]. In the context of the time-bandwidth product,SSB modulation eliminates the tradeoff between the large time aperture and the large bandwidth.The length of fiber1or,equivalently,the time aperture,could then be freely optimized without sacrificing the RF bandwidth if a broad-band SSB-modulation scheme is achievable.We note that,for the SSB case,a nonlinear phase distortion is present in the output waveform[7].However, this can be removed in the digital domain using the known dispersion behavior of the fiber.This process is facilitated by the fact that since interference of the sidebands is avoided, signal power at the ADC input is preserved.With SSB modulation,fiber dispersion will no longer limit the system bandwidth.Instead,the bandwidth of components, such as the RF hybrid coupler,will become important.In gen-eral,since the bandwidth limit is alleviated in SSB modula-tion,propagation loss of the fiber may become the dominant limit to the time-bandwidth product.The loss is proportional to the fiber length and,hence,will be proportional to the total amount of dispersion needed in the system.From the definition of the time-bandwidth product,the total amount of dispersion that is required to obtain a given stretch factor,time-bandwidth product,and RF bandwidth is givenby,nm,andps/km/nm,lossdBdB)is proportional to the time-bandwidthproduct.Fig.5.Total fiber loss for a given time-bandwidth product in an opticalSSB-modulated time-stretched ADC.M=10,f=50GHz.The DCF isassumed.This will create a tradeoff between the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and time-bandwidth product.From this point-of-view,dispersive devices with superior dispersion-to-loss ratio thanthat obtainable with the DCF will be required.Additionally,proper design of an amplified photonic time-stretched systemis important.The second practical challenge is the ability toperform SSB modulation over a large RF bandwidth.Sincethe optical carrier in the time-stretched system is broad-band,traditional filtering techniques for SSB modulation cannotbe used.Phase-discrimination methods for SSB modulationrequire a90could be related to theinput opticalfieldby(7)where the modulator

line)of a time-stretched ADC.was limited to 8GHz by optical spectrum analyzer.However,since the hybrid coupler maintains the specified amplitude and phase imbalance down to 4GHz,we conclude that the max-imum penalty will be 2.5dB across 4–20GHz.Fig.8shows the 20-GHz signal captured at 120GSample/s with the SSB TS-ADC.The noise bandwidth was limited to 4GHz around 20GHz.The DCF was used as the dispersive ele-ment.The stretch factor is measured to be 5.94,the optical mod-ulation index is 18.6%,and the input aperture is 2.9ns.The elec-tronic ADC is the Tektronix TDS7404digital oscilloscope with4-GHz input bandwidth and a 20-GSa/s sample rate.Therefore,the effective input sample rate is approximately 120GSample/s.One of the challenges in the TS-ADC system is the nonuni-form spectral density of the supercontinuum source and its pulse-to-pulse variation.The flatness is determined primarily by that of the source,as well as the influence from optical filters and the erbium-doped fiber amplifier gain profile.Owing to the wavelength-to-time mapping occurring in the first fiber,spectral nonuniformities appear as a temporal modulation of the chirped-carrier amplitude entering the modulator.As long as the variation is slow compared to the RF input signal,it can be separated from the signal (by low-pass filtering)and used for correction.This method will place a low-frequency cutoff on the system,but otherwise,is highly effective for compen-sating for the spectral nonuniformity and its pulse-to-pulse dependence.It was employed in the above experiments.V .S UMMARYIn summary,we have defined the time-bandwidth product as the proper metric to evaluate the performance of the photonic time-stretched ADC,and have used it to compare DSB and SSB optical modulation schemes.It was shown that there exists a tradeoff between the RF bandwidth and time aperture of the system in the DSB modulated system.This tradeoff arises due to the dispersion penalty in the system and is qualitatively sim-ilar to that in conventional analog fiber-optic links.The penalty results in attenuation of high-frequency components and is a manifestation of DSB modulation.Therefore,SSB modulation is a natural choice for removing the bandwidth limitation and for maximizing the time-bandwidth product.Theoretically,with SSB modulation,there is no fundamental limit to system band-width,aside from component limitations (i.e.,the SSB mod-ulator and photodetector).The system will then be loss lim-ited,and a time-bandwidth product of around 1000is readily achievable.While a phase distortion is present in the SSB time-stretched waveform,it can be corrected in the digital domain using the known dispersion characteristic of the fiber.Since the optical carrier in the time-stretched system has a broad optical bandwidth and is chirped,filtering techniques cannot be used for SSB generation,and phase discrimination using a dual-arm MZ modulator is the only viable approach.In practice,the maximum bandwidth of these systems is limited by the phase and amplitude imbalance in the hybrid RF coupler used to create quadrature signal components.Our analytical results indicate that,fortuitously,the TS-ADC system is tolerant to such errors.The analytical results developed here are equally applicable to conventional RF fiber-optic links.Experiments using commercially available components showed that the dispersion-induced power penalty can be kept below 2.5dB over a 4–20GHz bandwidth for any stretch factor.In further experiments,SSB-modulated time stretch was used to digitize a 20-GHz RF tone with 4-GHz input bandwidth at 120GSamples/s using a 20-GSamples/s electronic digitizer.A CKNOWLEDGMENTThe authors would like to thank Dr.J.Murphy,Defense Ad-vanced
