Abstract :
In this paper we describe research on a microwave optical receiver where analog microwave circuitry is replaced by photonic components. The ultimate goal is to produce an optical-digital receiver capable of providing a spurious free dynamic range of ~140dBHz2/3 and a signal to noise ratio of 7dB in the 0 to 20GHz range with a 4 GHz bandwidth.
