“…6 This parameter is linked to the product of the responsivity and its derivative. 6 Hence, the maximum conversion efficiency will be achieved at the bias voltage where the nonlinearity parameter has the maximal value.…”

“…This leads to maximizing the nonlinearity parameter. 6 In other words, for the frequency mixing in PIN-PD to be efficient, the parameter of nonlinearity must be as high as possible, and ultimate conversion efficiency is fulfilled at a bias voltage where the parameter is at the upper limit.…”

“…There are many key advantages of this schema such as removing the need for a costly LO in the BS, ameliorating the flexibility of the system because the modulation of optical signals and the carrier frequency are placed at the CS, wide bandwidth, and high conversion efficiency. Thus, simultaneously illuminating the device by two optical signals modulated at two various frequencies will generate mixing terms 6 by the quadratic response of the PD. In both diagrams, the demodulation process of the mixed signal carrying data at the outer of the PD can be done at the BS through two steps; first, a digital sampling oscilloscope (DSO) for digitalization the received signal, then a vector signal analyzer (VSA) software used to achieve the demodulation after photo-detection, mixing, and amplification.…”

“…Without using a sampling method, the authors of Refs. 4, 6, and 20–22 proposed a similar PD-based system by the quadratic response of the PD and they reported a very low conversion efficiency. In our recent work, we have achieved frequency mixing by all-optical sampling based on SOA-MZI, 23 , 24 a cascaded SOA-MZIs link, 25 and a cascaded MZMs link 26 .…”

. Simulation and experimental performance analysis of a positive-intrinsic-negative photodiode (PIN-PD) sampling mixer used as frequency up and down-converters are presented. Besides, a frequency mixing with a PIN-PD can operate in a frequency range up to 47.3 GHz for up-conversion and 38.5 GHz for down-conversion. The design and operating regime peculiarities of a PIN-PD as an up and down-converter in a radio over fiber (RoF) system are also discussed. The conversion gain of a PIN-PD sampling mixer is simulated and measured. We showed that the gain may decrease from 27 dB at a mixing frequency of 8.3 GHz to 3 dB at the one with 47.3 GHz in an up-conversion mode and from 26.5 dB at 31.7 GHz to 7 dB at 38.5 GHz in a down-conversion mode, when the PIN-PD bias voltage was 0 V. The conversion gain degrades with the decrease of the bias voltage from 0 to −5 V. Error vector magnitudes (EVMs) of the quadratic amplitude modulation (M-QAM) up and down-converted signals are investigated. Quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) data at bit rates between 312.5 Mbit / s and 5 Gbit / s are frequency-converted. The EVM is used a performance index to assess the mixing system. Exploitable EVMs in the range of 15% up to 34.9% are reached for up-conversion of the mixing frequency. For down-conversion, the EVM varies from 20% to 34.9% at 5 Gbit / s over the whole frequency range. The EVM of mixed signals is improved with 16-QAM and 64-QAM modulations.

“…Due to the photovoltaic effect, the detected signal produces oscillations of the voltage at the photodiode which result in oscillations of the photodiode responsivity. Thus, the second optical signal is detected by the p-i-n photodiode with modulated responsivity, and, therefore, mixing products with sum and difference frequencies are generated [29], [30]. It is worth mentioning that the operating regimes of the photodiode used for detection and for mixing are quite different.…”

Photonics‐based microwave frequency mixing provides distinct features in terms of wide frequency coverage, broad instantaneous bandwidth, small frequency‐dependent loss, and immunity to electromagnetic interference as compared with its electronic counterpart, which can be a key technical enabler for future broadband and multifunctional RF systems. Herein, all‐optical and optoelectronic microwave frequency mixing techniques are reviewed, with an emphasis on the latest advances in photonics‐based microwave frequency mixers with improved performance in terms of conversion efficiency, dynamic range, mixing‐spur suppression, mixing functionality, and polarization independence. Innovative applications enabled by photonics‐based microwave frequency mixers, such as radio‐over‐fiber communication systems, radar systems, satellite payloads and electronic warfare systems, are also reviewed. In addition, efforts in implementing integrated photonics‐based microwave mixers that lead to a dramatic reduction in size, weight, and power consumption are also reviewed.
