“…1 represents a conventional electrooptical scheme of an optical carrier with a spectral distribution S(ω) by means of external modulation and photodetection after propagation through a given optical processor H disp (ω) [16]. Therefore, the average intensity I out (t) results to be a superposition of monochromatic carrier waves which are spectrally weighted by the optical spectral density S(ω) previously to dispersive propagation.…”

“…In order to increase the waveform flexibility, we recently proposed a photonic scheme that allows both optical arbitrary waveform generation and large TBWP by the processing of an incoherent optical signal using a nonlinear dispersive element which experimental results were reported in [15]. Recently, a high TBWP of several hundreds of thousands has been experimentally demonstrated by a heterodyne-beating using two lasers [16]. However, this system is drastically restricted to low rates (~kb/s) because of the sweep time of lasers dependence.…”

Abstract:A novel all-optical technique based on the incoherent processing of optical signals using high-order dispersive elements is analyzed for microwave arbitrary pulse generation. We show an approach which allows a full reconfigurability of a pulse in terms of chirp, envelope and central frequency by the proper control of the second-order dispersion and the incoherent optical source power distribution, achieving large values of timebandwidth product. 690-699 (2000). 11.

“…They cannot produce an accurate frequency, because an accuracy of 1 ppm provides frequency preciseness of several hundreds of megahertz owing to its optical frequency of several hundreds of terahertz. On the other hand, optical heterodyne using independent lasers with wavelength sweep functions including pulse shaping with dispersive media can also generate the resultant millimeter-wave FM-CW signal [19], [20]. However, the resultant frequency fluctuation caused by the instability of two lasers is insufficient with phase noise and fails to satisfy the radio regulations.…”

Optical frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FM-CW) signal generation with a bandwidth of 35 GHz and a pulse duration of 1 μs in the range of 75-110 GHz is demonstrated with an optical frequency multiplier consisting of an optical modulator and optical filters. The FM-CW signal generator is used as a signal source for the surveillance of obstacles and debris in a large area by a distributed radar system connected to the optical fiber network. The system for millimeter-wave FM-CW signal generation is realized using the functions of a multi-frequency band and segmentation of the radar heads with several channels to avoid radio-frequency interference. The wavelength-division multiplexing technology with simple optical heterodyning aids in realizing these functions with high availability. IndexTerms-Frequency-modulated continuous-wave, millimeter-wave radar, optical frequency domain reflectometry, optical modulation, radio over fiber.

“…Ultrafast optical/microwave waveforms with a bandwidth up to tens/hundreds of Gigahertz could find applications in numerous fields, such as high speed optical communications, biomedical imaging, and coherent control in chemistry [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Photonics-assisted techniques have attracted much attentions thanks to their applications in many fields [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], such as microwave frequency measurement, analog-to-digital conversion, microwave photonics sensing, broad bandwidth radar and microwave photonics filter.…”

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.
