Article Abstract
An all-photonic approach of microwave waveforms generation and transformation is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. From the perspective of envelope function operation in time domain, an initial triangular waveform is transformed into square waveform and sawtooth (or reversed-sawtooth) waveform via two types of differentiators, respectively. In addition, by using a SOA as a multiplier, both bright and dark parabolic pulses are achieved, which are further transformed into sawtooth (or reversed-sawtooth) waveform by taking the first derivative operation. The feasibility of the system is verified by theoretical analysis and simulation. In experiment, all of the expected results are successfully demonstrated and agree with the theoretical analysis well. This scheme provides a novel access to implement all-optical microwave waveforms generation, transformation, signal processing and computing.

Achieving broadband and effective frequency conversion through non-collinear phase matching (PM) is of significant interest due to its potential applications in all-optical signal processing. To overcome the stringent requirements of the quasi-phase-matching condition, such as the period width, polarization, and incident direction, perovskite-type ferroelectric materials with natural ferroelectric domains offer advantages for achieving broadband second-harmonic generation (SHG). However, the random distribution of lattice vectors and scattering at domain walls not only causes substantial scattering losses, limiting conversion efficiency, but also complicates detection and application.

Flexible radio-frequency (RF) signal generation in a wide range is of great significance for the application of microwave photonics. In this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a dual-wavelength Brillouin fiber laser (BFL) that stably oscillates the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) signals in an all-optical feedback cavity without any electro-optic or optoelectronic conversions. To effectively form the single mode, the two SBS lights outflowed from the cavity are put asunder and separately injected into their pump loop.

A high-sensitivity magnetic field sensor based on an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The magnetic field sensor consists of a fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer, with the lower arm of the interferometer wound around a magnetostrictive transducer. Due to the magnetostrictive effect, an optical phase shift induced by magnetic field variation is generated between two orthogonal light waves transmitted in the upper and lower arms of the MZI.

The rapid development of superconducting quantum hardware is expected to run into substantial restrictions on scalability because error correction in a cryogenic environment has stringent input-output requirements. Classical data centres rely on fibre-optic interconnects to remove similar networking bottlenecks. In the same spirit, ultracold electro-optic links have been proposed and used to generate qubit control signals, or to replace cryogenic readout electronics.

An all-optical single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) forward Brillouin microwave oscillator (FB-MO) with an unbalanced Fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer (UF-MZI) for microwave photonics (MWP) generation is proposed and experimentally investigated. UF-MZI consists of an optical coupler (OC), a polarization controller (PC), and two asymmetric length arms with 5 km and 500 m single-mode fibers (SMFs), which implements two unbalanced length feedback rings that are connected to one another. One long-length ring with a forward Brillouin gain cooperates with the other short-length ring to maintain a spectral Vernier effect and improve the effective free spectral range (FSR).
