Theoretical analysis and experimental investigation of microwave photonic links with bias-
shifted Mach-Zehnder modulators are presented. An optical amplifier is used to increase link …

Over the past ten years, DARPA has made significant investments toward advancing the
field of microwave photonics. This paper reviews DARPA-funded progress in this subject …

A photonic analog-to-digital (A/D) link with third-order distortion suppression is proposed
and demonstrated. Experimental results with single-and two-tone analog input signals and a …

We describe a technique transmitting K-band microwave signals over an optical channel
using electrooptic phase modulation at the transmitter followed by series phase modulation …

We demonstrate and characterize a new class of radio-frequency (RF)-photonic link for the
linear transport of analog RF signals. Simultaneous and separate detection and digitization …

We present a linearized phase-modulated analog photonic link that utilizes parallel
interferometric demodulation to suppress the third-order intermodulation distortion present in …

A single photonic system that can simultaneously perform frequency downconversion,
multichannel phase shifting, and in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) demodulation for …

We analyze the performance of analog-photonic links employing phase modulation with
interferometric demodulation and compare it to intensity-modulation direct-detection links …

The noise figure of an analog fiber-optic link was reduced to 6 dB at 1 GHz by using a bias-
shifted Mach-Zehnder modulator with an optical input power of 1 W. The link noise figure …
