Abstract:
Examples of systems and methods for integrated photonic broadband microwave transceivers are disclosed based on integrated coherent dual optical frequency combs. In some cases, when the system is configured as a transmitter, multiple radio frequency (RF) carriers can be generated, which can either be encoded independently, or used for broadcasting the same information into different bands. In some cases, when the system is configured as a receiver, the spectrum of the input signal can be sliced into several spectral segments for low-bandwidth detection and analysis. In some systems, the optics-related functionalities can be achieved via integrated optic technology, for example based on silicon photonics, providing tremendous possibilities for mass-production with significantly reduced system footprint.

Claim (Index 1):
A photonics system comprising:\n a dual comb generator, comprising a 1st comb and a 2nd comb, said 1st comb and said 2nd comb configured to operate at different repetition rates; a first wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system configured to receive an optical input directly traceable to an output of said 1st comb, the WDM system configured to separate the optical input into a set of wavelength channels; and a set of optical-to-electrical converters (OEC) configured to receive as a 1st input a signal directly traceable to an output of said WDM channels and as a 2nd input a signal directly traceable to an output of said 2nd comb, said set of OECs configured to convert their inputs to electrical signals, said dual comb generator configured in integrated optic devices, such as micro-ring resonators or integrated optic comb generators.
