Article Abstract
We present a high-performance radio frequency (RF) photonic bandpass filter enabled by combining on-chip Brillouin scattering with a suppressed carrier phase modulation scheme. We achieve a low RF loss of 5 dB and a large stopband rejection of more than 40 dB, which represents a significant improvement of 20 dB to the RF passband gain and 31 dB to the RF rejection ratio over traditional modulation schemes under the same optical power consumption. We further demonstrate filter reconfigurability including multiple passbands, wide frequency (1-20 GHz), and bandwidth tunability (30-350 MHz) without compromising the RF performance.

The microwave photonic filter (MPF) has emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation radio-frequency (RF) applications, offering exceptional performance in terms of large instantaneous bandwidth, ultra-wideband frequency tuning, and multifunctionality. However, most existing MPFs provide only a single output port, limiting their applicability in scenarios requiring simultaneous multi-channel responses. Here, we demonstrate a dual-output integrated microwave photonic filter (IMPF) on the thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform, integrating a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), an add-drop microring resonator (MRR), and a notch MRR.

We look back at many challenges as well as unexpected successes encountered by the Mamyshev optical regenerator, which combines spectral broadening from self-phase modulation followed by offset bandpass filtering. Initially developed for ultra-fast all-optical processing of optical telecommunications signals, the Mamyshev regenerator has become most useful in the field of high-power fiber lasers. Implemented from optical fibers, the Mamyshev regenerator is compatible with integration on an optical chip, and excellent prospects are open for this polyvalent technology.

It is based on a dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DP-MZM) and an optical bandpass filter (OBPF). The OBPF selects an RF modulation sideband produced by the two sub-MZMs inside the DP-MZM.

This technique leverages the concept of linear phase finite impulse response (FIR) filters. The focus of this work is on calculating the filter tap coefficients for various delay-line-based MWPF configurations to achieve a specified spectral response.

We present a tunable wideband microwave photonic (MWP) processor that simultaneously enables precise phase shifting and true-time delay (TTD) control. The core of this device is a compact phase-shifted waveguide Bragg grating (PS-WBG) integrated into a silicon photonic (SiPh) platform. The system uses a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) to generate an optical single-sideband modulated signal from a continuous-wave laser source.
