A simulation model of microwave photonic filters (MPF) based on Brillouin Raman fiber laser (BRFL) is demonstrated. A wide tunability filter in terms of its bandwidth and free spectra range is achievable by controlling BRFL optical channel numbers and wavelength spacing thanks to the high optical channels count offered by the BRFL. Characteristics of MPF based on the BRFL parameters were investigated and reported. This model serves as the reference for practical MPF design using multiwavelength BRFL. A high selectivity filter could be achievable with 38.1 MHz 3 dB bandwidth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
