Abstract :
A novel tunable single bandpass photonic microwave filter is proposed. It is based on optically filtering one of the sidebands of a phase-modulated optical carrier by means of the notch response of a silicon-on-insulator ring resonator. The filter response can be tuned by changing the laser wavelength. Experimental results to prove the concept are provided.
