High Conversion Efficiency Photonic Microwave Mixer With Image Rejection Capability

A new photonic microwave image rejection mixer that can achieve high conversion efficiency and has a wide bandwidth is presented. It is based on an integrated dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) with a 90° polarization rotator on one branch of the modulator. The two modulators conn...
