Abstract :
We propose, for the first time to our knowledge, the application of multicore fibers (MCFs) to the implementation of sampled optical delay lines for RF signals. Heterogeneous multicore fibers are addressed as a generic building block and discussion is then centered on the particular application of arbitrary waveform generation.
