Monolithic and Heterogeneous Microwave/Millimeter-wave Photonic Integrated Circuits

摘要

Among the photonic techniques to generate RF signals, optical heterodyning ispreferred for wide frequency tuning. It combines two single wavelength laser sources, which behave as uncorrelated sources, afecting the sability of the generated signal. Two integration approaches are investigated, monolithic InP and heterogeneous In/Polymer.
