Design and optimization of Photonic Systems for Microwave Applications

Abstract

Extensively researched in the last years, the Microwave Photonics Technology field has a number of potential advantages including extremely wide bandwidth, very low frequency constant losses, light weight, immunity to EMI and high flexibility and tunability. This work centers on two different examples, a Microwave Photonic Filter, and an Optical Correlator, to show the advances in this technology and how can be implemented.
