Abstract

A continuously tunable, coherence-free microwave photonic notch filter is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. This filter is based on two polarization beamsplitters with a high-birefringence linearly chirped fiber Bragg grating used as the tunable component. High stability is obtained. The polarization-maintaining structure is free from the random optical interference problem. By adjusting the operating wavelength, more than 5 GHz free-spectral-range tunability with 40-dB notch rejection is achieved.
