RF Photonic Equalization Using Stimulated Brillouin Scattering

We present a wideband and arbitrarily reconfigurable photonic solution to RF equalization using the nonlinear optical phenomenon of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). In this work, we equalize an RF photonic downconverter with optical signal processing to achieve a gain flatness of < 0.5\ \te...

Description
Summary:We present a wideband and arbitrarily reconfigurable photonic solution to RF equalization using the nonlinear optical phenomenon of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). In this work, we equalize an RF photonic downconverter with optical signal processing to achieve a gain flatness of < 0.5\ \text{dB} over 500 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth.
