This paper discusses THz bandwidth information and signal processing based on RF-
photonic technologies. In particular, we will emphasize integrated circuit approaches to RF-
photonics where highly stable THz bandwidth information and signal processing can take
place. We will demonstrate THz signal generation by optical arbitrary waveform generation
(OAWG), and will describe its inverse process, optical arbitrary waveform measurement
(OAWM). Further, we will discuss an RF-photonic lattice filter useful for optical equalization …

The desire to accurately generate, receive, and process information at high information
rates, terahertz (THz) and beyond, has spurred recent efforts in radio frequency (RF)
photonics to synergistically solve this recent challenge [1–3]. Exploiting benefits from both
RF and photonics can yield high-fidelity and high-precision information generation,
detection, and processing at possibly THz bandwidths and beyond [4]. A powerful
combination of the optical technology offering wavelength parallelism, high bandwidth, and …
