High-Speed and Wideband Frequency-Hopping Microwave Signal Generation via Switching the Bias Point of an Optical Modulator

A novel photonic approach to generate high-speed and wideband frequency-hopping microwave signal via switching the bias point of a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The core component of the system is a DD-MZM. By switching the bias point of the...
