Abstract

We review applications of Kerr micro-combs in RF photonic systems including fractional differentiators, Hilbert Transformers and many other functions.

Highlights

  • As one of the most powerful tools in Radio frequency (RF) photonic systems, optical frequency combs can serve as multi-wavelength sources and establish multiple RF channels, and can greatly increase the capacity for transmission and performance for transversal processers [22,23,24,25,26]

  • We review our recent work on RF and microwave photonic applications of integrated micro-combs, including a reconfigurable RF photonic intensity differentiator, RF channelizer and others

  • By employing an on-chip nonlinear micro-ring resonator (MRR), we generate a broadband Kerr comb based on soliton crystals, with a record low FSR of 49GHz, generating a large number of comb lines and use it as a high-quality multi-wavelength source for a transversal differentiator

Summary

Introduction

As one of the most powerful tools in RF photonic systems, optical frequency combs can serve as multi-wavelength sources and establish multiple RF channels, and can greatly increase the capacity for transmission and performance for transversal processers [22,23,24,25,26]. We review our recent work on RF and microwave photonic applications of integrated micro-combs, including a reconfigurable RF photonic intensity differentiator, RF channelizer and others. By employing an on-chip nonlinear micro-ring resonator (MRR), we generate a broadband Kerr comb based on soliton crystals, with a record low FSR of 49GHz, generating a large number of comb lines and use it as a high-quality multi-wavelength source for a transversal differentiator.
