Abstract

Photonic signal processing offers the prospect of realising extremely high multi-GHz sampling frequencies, overcoming inherent electronic limitations. This stems from the intrinsic excellent delay properties of optical delay lines. These processors provide new capabilities for realising high time-bandwidth operation and high-resolution performance. In-fibre signal processors are inherently compatible with fibre optic microwave systems, and can provide connectivity with in-built signal conditioning. Recent new methods in wideband signal processors including high-resolution, arbitrary response, tunability and programmable processing, are presented.
