“…Figure 6 shows the forward bias I-V characteristic of a phase modulator in one arm of MZMB. A similar measurement can be found in [50,53] which determines that the diode performance has not deteriorated over the years.…”

“…Maldonado-Basilio et al proposed an electro-optical up-conversion mixer which utilizes the intrinsic relative phase relationships between the ports of MMI coupler to provide the necessary static phase, eliminating the need of static bias, static phase element and trimming [51]. Another photonic frequency multiplier circuit uses the same concept of exploiting the phase relationship of input and output signals in the MMI coupler to obtain an 8-fold multiplication of the electric local oscillator frequency [52][53]. Mehedi Hassan et al extended the circuits functionality to have dual-carrier complex modulation, sub-carrier generation and frequency up-conversion [50].…”

A multi-functional photonic circuit implemented on silicon on insulator (SOI) platform is reported. Eight phase modulators are connected to provide four Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure in parallel. Multimode interference couplers are used as the splitter/combiner of the MZI structures to provide static DC bias. This architecture generates two principle spatially separated 1<sup>st</sup> order harmonics from a single light source, which may be collected from separate ports without using any optical demultiplexing filters which permits remote heterodyning. A carrier suppression of >20 dB and spurious sideband suppression > 12 dB relative to the principle harmonics is achieved with bias voltage tuning only. In addition to the frequency conversion, the circuit can also perform as a sub-carrier generator, IQ modulator and frequency multiplier.

“…Since coherent RoF systems have been implemented based on DSP algorithms which are well known from high capacity baseband systems, one of the main challenges in RoF systems is generation and distribution of mm‐wave RoF signals. Several possible methods of generation and distribution of mm‐wave RoF signals have been proposed, and widely used (eg, the heterodyne mixing of two correlated and spatially separated harmonics). A system has been recently proposed and numerically demonstrated in, where the microwave photonics integrated circuit (MPIC) is used for three roles; (i) spatially‐separated carrier generation for remote heterodyning, (ii) IQ‐modulation in the downlink (iii) up‐conversion in the uplink.…”

The author numerically investigates the performance of a 100 Gb/s dual‐polarization quadrature phase‐shift keying (DP‐QPSK) coherent radio‐over‐fiber (RoF) system through deploying various lengths of standard single‐mode fiber (SSMF). The utilization of a microwave photonic integrated circuit (MPIC) as the core building block of this optical coherent RoF link both in downlink and uplink, combined with digital signal processing (DSP) has led to a new RoF scheme which demonstrated the feasibility to operate at the low input RF power. The performance of the RoF system with respect to the optical received power induced by channel SNR is also investigated. It has been demonstrated that for a 200 km length of fiber, a laser with a linewidth of less than 1 MHz results in the EVM compliant to the IEEE standards. It has been also verified that the link offers higher linearity and better receiver sensitivity compared to the conventional intensity modulated and directly detected optical communication systems.
