Abstract :
This paper provides a comprehensive understanding of a novel photonic high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) approach and its anticipated performance. Compelling analytic models, experimental data, and simulation results show that the system will achieve the goal of developing an ADC with a resolution on the order of 12 bits and with conversion speeds in excess of 10 GS/s
