  • Abstract
    An analysis of the noise properties of spectrum sliced microwave photonic filters is presented. It reveals that the excess intensity noise in spectrum sliced filters is around 46 dB higher than the shot noise. This is verified by experimental noise measurements, which are presented for the first time. This extremely high excess noise poses the dominant limitation to the filter performance, and requires effective suppression techniques.
