Abstract In this study, we realize an integrated generation of optical Single SideBand with Carrier (SSB+C) signal for microwave photonics applications. It has been achieved using a Micro Ring Modulator (MRM) combined with a cavity based wavelength selective filter. MRM, when applied with an RF input, results in a Double SideBand with Carrier (DSB+C) signal where one sideband is suppressed by applying this signal to the filter. The filter has been created using a single resonance-split self-coupled cavity with an extremely high shape factor of 0.69. The sideband suppression ratio between DSB+C and SSB+C ranges from 16 dB to 55 dB for a frequency range of 4 GHz to 20 GHz. Tunable suppression ratio of 21 dB has been achieved at a fixed frequency of 15 GHz. Dynamic range performance of the generated signal has been evaluated at a noise floor of -156 dBm. The dynamic range remains stable in the range of 1 GHz - 5 GHz at ∼ 80 dB.Hz 2 ∕ 3 .

使用超高形状因子自耦合环形谐振器产生宽带光学单边带

摘要 在这项研究中，我们实现了用于微波光子学应用的带载波 (SSB+C) 信号的集成生成。它是使用微环形调制器 (MRM) 与基于腔的波长选择滤波器相结合来实现的。MRM 与 RF 输入一起应用时，会产生带载波的双边带 (DSB+C) 信号，其中通过将此信号应用于滤波器来抑制边带。该滤波器是使用具有 0.69 极高形状因子的单个共振分离自耦合腔创建的。对于 4 GHz 至 20 GHz 的频率范围，DSB+C 和 SSB+C 之间的边带抑制比范围为 16 dB 至 55 dB。在 15 GHz 的固定频率下实现了 21 dB 的可调抑制比。已在 -156 dBm 的本底噪声下评估了生成信号的动态范围性能。动态范围在 1 GHz - 5 GHz 范围内保持稳定，约为 80 dB.Hz 2 ∕ 3 。
