Abstract:
A photonically-sampled electronically-quantized analog-to-digital converter generates an optical signal comprising a series of optical pulses. The optical signal is split into a first and a second optical path. The split optical signal is detected in the first path and then the detected optical signal is converted to a reference digital signal. The split optical signal in the second path is modulated with an input RF signal and a plurality of demultiplexed RF-modulated optically-sampled signals is generated from the modulated optical signal. The plurality of demultiplexed RF-modulated optically-sampled signals is then pulse broadened, detected, and converted to a plurality of sampled-RF digital signals. The reference digital signal and the plurality of sampled-RF digital signals are digital signal processed to generate a digital representation of the input RF signal.

Claim (Index 15):
The photonically-sampled electronically-quantized analog-to-digital converter of  claim 13  further comprising a WDM interleaver having an input optically coupled into the second optical path and an output that is optically coupled to the input of the optical modulator, the WDM interleaver generating at an output multiple optical pulse trains with different wavelengths, wherein each wavelength occupies a particular time slot, and wherein each time slot repeats with a particular frequency.
