“…Although the results shown in this paper are limited to the downconversion of X-band signals, due to limitations in the available equipment, the proposed schemes may be also useful for millimeter-wave band applications with state-of-the-art components [6,7].…”

“…Cascaded Mach-Zehnder electrooptical modulators (MZ-EOM) have been extensively employed as photonic mixers, both for fundamental [1][2][3] and harmonic [4,5] downconversion, in applications ranging from antenna remoting to CATV or local multipoint distribution system (LMDS) signal distribution. Recently, electroabsorption modulators (EAM) have been proposed to downconvert 60-GHz signals to an S-band intermediate frequency (IF) [6,7] using direct fundamental mixing. Harmonic downconversion of radiofrequency (RF) is advantageous against fundamental downconversion due to the fact that lower-frequency/ high-power LO sources are available at lower cost and higher modulation indexes may be achieved.…”

Two harmonic photonic-downconversion schemes employing electroabsorption modulators are proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Harmonic downconversion of 34-Mb/s data modulated onto a 9.5-GHz signal has been performed using (i) a single electroabsorption modulator, (ii) a Mach-Zehnder modulator and an electroabsorption modulator in series. Error-free operation for both schemes is demonstrated after transmission of the IF signal through a 25-km fiber-opticlink for harmonic orders of up to three. The influence of the biasing point of the modulator on the overall performance of both photonic downconversion schemes is discussed.

“…In the frequency interleaved DWDM mm-wave band RoF systems, hundreds of base stations can be supported in C-band or L-band [14]. In order to fully utilize the capacity, we proposed to use SC light source [15][16][17], which has been originally developed for backbone DWDM networks [18][19][20].…”

Recent advances in radio-frequency (RF) and millimeter-wave (mmW) photonics are reviewed with emphasis on our research in broadband radio-over-fiber system architectures, photonic generation and processing of RF and mmW signals, and optoelectronic device design for mmW photonics applications. Future system design challenges are also discussed. In particular, the concept of substrate integrated circuits (SICs) is shown to have great potentials in the design of highly integrated mmW circuits as well as traveling-wave optoelectronic devices, which are critical to the development of future RF and mmW photonic systems for broadband wireless access and sensor applications.
