Abstract :
Summary form only given. We present the design and demonstration of an all-optical A/D converter whose attractive features include (1) direct optical sampling of the input RF signal, (2) optical quantization scheme, (3) utilization of optical signal multiplexing to provide parallel processing of quantized signals, and (4) low-power consumption.
