摘要：A photonic harmonic up-converter based on a self-oscillating optical frequency comb (OFC) utilizing an integrated dual-polarization dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder Modulator (DP-DPMZM) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. One DPMZM is used to generate the optoelectronic oscillator (OEO)-based OFC, and the rest one is used to generate the optical-modulated intermediate frequency (IF) signal. Beating these two signals, the up-converted signals at different bands would be obtained. As the OFC is generated based on the OEO loop, phase noise can be very low, ensuring good phase noise properties of the up-converted signals. Moreover, frequency spacing between the combs is dependent on oscillating frequency of the OEO, which can be as large as tens of gigahertz. Thus IF signals with large bandwidth can be up-converted to RF bands without aliasing. Experimentally, the 2.5 GHz IF signal is simultaneously up-converted to 13.3, 24.1, and 34.9 GHz by a self-oscillating 7-line OFC spacing at 10.8 GHz. Owing to good phase noise property of the OEO, the up-converted signals at 13.3 and 24.1 GHz maintain the phase noise of the IF signal from 1 KHz to 100 KHz offset. The results show that the converter is promising for multi-band radar and satellite navigation applications. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
