Abstract :
An integrated optical modulator is shown to operate in a manner analogous to that of a conventional electronic mixer. The integrated optical mixer has been used to perform a spectral analysis on a subcarrier RF signal, modulated on an optical carrier, and demonstrates a novel signal processing application of such devices.
