High-Efficiency Photonic Microwave Downconversion With Full-Frequency-Range Coverage

Microwave frequency downconversion is optically implemented by using two cascaded polarization modulators (PolMs), characterized by full-frequency-range coverage and high conversion efficiency. In this proposed approach, the incident radio-frequency signal (RF) and the local oscillator signal (LO) a...
