Abstract

See full text

Photonic devices for generating linearly frequency modulated arbitrary microwave signals comprise a laser, and assembly for forming the emitted signal and a photoreceiver the passband of which is in the domain of the microwave frequencies. The forming assembly comprises: a first beam splitter; a first optical channel including a frequency-shifting loop comprising a beam splitter, a first optical amplifier, an optical isolator, a first spectral optical filter and an acousto-optical frequency shifter; a second optical channel including an electro-optical frequency shifter; a second beam splitter; a second optical amplifier; and a second optical filter; the acousto-optical frequency shift, the electro-optical frequency shift and the amplification gain of the first optical amplifier being adjustable.
