Novel Concept for a Tunable Optical Microwave Source

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Recent developments in high speed all optical networks have increased the demand for all optical devices mainly due to the speed limitations of electronics. A key functionality for all optical networks will be optical microwave sources which are required for several applications in optical signal processing such as clock recovery and add-drop multiplexing in OTDM-systems. The generation of microwaves using optics offers many advantages compared to electronic solutions. Besides the speed limitations of electronical counterparts the benefits are low power consumption, low cost and high reliability.
