Electrical Filters Containing Multistage PBG Resonators

Pass bands of microwave filters could be tailored with greater flexibility.

Electrical filters of a recently invented type are designed and constructed as transmission lines into which multistage photonic-band-gap (PBG) structures are incorporated. As used here, “transmission lines” refers to any or all of the standard electrical media, including coaxial cables, microstrips, and the like, used ...

BC VCSELs for RF/Photonic Links

These devices are especially well suited for short-range, wide-band communications.

Bipolar cascade (BC) vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) of a type intended specifically for use in radio-frequency (RF)/photonic links have been demonstrated. As used here, “RF/photonic link” signifies a communication link in which, at ...

Effect of Laser Noise on an Analog RF/Photonic Link

This methodology applies to many systems utilizing intensity modulation of laser beams.

Aset of equations has been formulated to enable quantification of several aspects of the performance of an analog photonic communication link as affected by laser noise. A procedure for measuring the laser noise has ...
