“…Optical differentiator and integrator as two fundamental optical processors have been investigated in the past few years [71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81]. Thanks to the intrinsic advantages of broad bandwidth based on an optical implementation, optical differentiator and integrator have an extremely large bandwidth comparing to the electronics based signal processors.…”

“…As mentioned above, although a programmable optical processor can be used to generate arbitrary waveform with broad bandwidth [71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81], its cost is very high. In some applications, only one or a few specific waveforms are needed, e.g., only a flat-top waveform is required as an optical gating signal for a time-division multiplex (TDM) system.…”

This paper reviews recent progresses on optical arbitrary waveform generation (AWG) techniques, which could be used to break the speed and bandwidth bottlenecks of electronics technologies for waveform generation. The main enabling techniques for optically generating optical and microwave waveforms are introduced and reviewed in this paper, such as wavelength-to-time mapping techniques, space-to-time mapping techniques, temporal pulse shaping (TPS) system, optoelectronics oscillator (OEO), programmable optical filters, optical differentiator and integrator and versatile electro-optic modulation implementations. The main advantages and challenges of these optical AWG techniques are also discussed.

“…(see Table 1 for comparison of existing photonic integrators), such as those based on gratings [4][5][6], and micro-ring resonators (MRRs) [7][8][9]. These approaches achieve optical signal integration with a time resolution as fast as 8 ps [7] and a large time-bandwidth product with high-Q resonant structures.…”

We demonstrate a photonic RF integrator based on an integrated soliton crystal micro-comb source. By multicasting and progressively delaying the input RF signal using a transversal structure, the input RF signal is integrated discretely. Up to 81 wavelengths are provided by the microcomb source, which enable a large integration time window of ~6.8 ns, together with a time resolution as fast as ~84 ps. We perform signal integration of a diverse range of input RF signals including Gaussian pulses with varying time widths, dual pulses with varying time intervals and a square waveform. The experimental results show good agreement with theory. These results verify our microcomb-based integrator as a competitive approach for RF signal integration with high performance and potentially lower cost and footprint.

“…A high Q-factor optical resonator that can trap photons for a long time can be exploited to implement a dynamic optical memory. For example, an optical resonator with a Q-factor of 10 8 or higher can provide a photon storage time up to tens of nanoseconds [7]. However, the stored photons will eventually vanish due to the unavoidable loss in a resonator.…”

“…However, the stored photons will eventually vanish due to the unavoidable loss in a resonator. Integrated amplifiers can be used in an optical resonator to partially compensate for the loss and to increase the photon storage time [7][8][9]. However, the photon storage time still cannot be infinitely long, since the net gain in the resonator must be strictly less than unity to avoid lasing, making optical memories incompetent for all-optical computation.…”

All-optical computing has been considered a solution for future computers to overcome the speed bottleneck encountered by the current electronic computers. High-speed optical memory is one of the key building blocks in realizing all-optical computing. In this Letter, we demonstrate an optical dynamic memory based on an amplified high Q-factor ring resonator that has the capability to achieve an infinite memory time. The optical memory uses an external pulse train to refresh the resonator, an operation in analogy to an electronic dynamic random-access memory widely used in modern computers, but at a speed that can be orders of magnitude faster. In our demonstration, a writing speed of 2.5 GHz is achieved with instant reading capability. The maximum writing speed can be as fast as 27.3 GHz if a shorter pulse is used.
