Abstract
An approach for photonic generation dual-chirp microwave waveform (DCMW) with frequency and bandwidth multiplication without filtering is proposed and demonstrated. A continuous-wave (CW) optical signal is sent to a polarization division multiplexing modulator. In the modulator, one part of the CW optical signal is modulated by the radio-frequency (RF) driving signals to generate ±2 nd-order single-frequency sidebands, while another one is modulated by the baseband chirped signals to generate ±2 nd-order chirped sidebands. After that, a frequency-doubled and bandwidth-quadrupled DCMW can be generated by photoelectric balanced detection. In the simulation experiments, by using a RF driving signal at 5GHz and a baseband single-chirp signal with bandwidth of 0.5GHz as the input electrical signals, a DCMW with central frequency of 10GHz and bandwidth of 2GHz is generated.
