RF-Arbitrary Waveform Generation Based on Microwave Photonic Filtering

We demonstrate RF arbitrary waveform generation based on microwave photonic filtering. We use four-wave mixing in a silicon nanowire to increase the number of taps in an N-tap microwave photonic filter (MPF). Using a programmable optical filter, we can control the tap weights and, hence, the MPF res...
