The electrical mixer is limited by operation bandwidth and parallel processing capacity, and is suffering from increasingly serious electro-magnetic interference. By introducing photonic properties, microwave photonic technology has many advantages compared to the traditional microwave technology, such as low loss, large bandwidth, high parallel processing capacity, anti-electromagnetic interference and so on. In this work, a Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) based microwave photonic mixer with high image rejection capacity is proposed. Due to the high wavelength-selectivity and wideband tenability of the SBS process, the image rejection ratio of the mixer exceeds 40dB over the IF range of 80 MHz to 2 GHz and the RF range of 2 to 40 GHz.
We proposed a 2×2 SOI thermo-optic switch based on microring assisted Mach-Zehnder interferometer(RAMZI) and graphene heater. The thermo-optic switch consists of 2×2 MMI-based 3-dB coupler, and RAMZI with graphene film as heater fixed above the microring resonator. A design and optimization of the switch, including optical characteristics of MMI coupler and MZI, electro-thermal characteristics of graphene heater and the overall performance of the switch, is carried out. The thermo-optic switch is demonstrated with small footprint of 0.07 mm2 , and low power consumption on simulation.
The high-frequency and tunable microwave signals are highly desirable in the files of military and civilian. The microwave photonic technology is an important solution to generate high-frequency and tunable microwave signals. Among them, the integrated microwave photonic solutions have a broader application prospect due to its small size, large bandwidth, and low power consumption, etc. We demonstrate a design of the monolithic integrated coupled DFB lasers (IC-DFB) to generate tunable microwave signal. A semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is integrated between DFB lasers to adjust the coupling strength. By tuning the injection current of the SOA section, microwave signals with a tuning range from 31 GHz to 35 GHz is achieve.
