Reconfigurable Photonic Microwave Filter Based on Four-Wave Mixing

A simple technique to reshape the response of tapped delay line photonic microwave filters is demonstrated. The technique is based on the generation and control of a set of optical carriers by means of four-wave mixing. Experimental results show reconfiguration from 2 to 5 taps with uniform and apod...

Description
Summary:A simple technique to reshape the response of tapped delay line photonic microwave filters is demonstrated. The technique is based on the generation and control of a set of optical carriers by means of four-wave mixing. Experimental results show reconfiguration from 2 to 5 taps with uniform and apodized amplitude distributions.
