FBG-Based Matched Filters for Optical Processing of RF Signals

We demonstrate the detection of RF pulses using complex matched filters implemented in photonics. The optical receiver consists of an intensity Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) for electrical-to-optical conversion as well as precisely tailored fiber Bragg grating (FBG) filters performing as matched filt...
