Abstract

We present a self‐homodyne photonic microwave receiver architecture that uses linear optical modulation and optical filtering for data down‐conversion from a microwave carrier. Preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility of this technique for demodulating up to 100 Mb/s digital data from carrier frequencies above 10 GHz. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
