Summary:
Photonic microwave mixing has been considered a key functionality in radio-over-fiber systems adopting high microwave subcarrier frequencies for antenna remoting applications, such as broadband wireless networks and electronic warfare systems. Through photonic approaches, such a functionality enables microwave subcarrier frequency upconversion for wireless transmission in downlinks or downconversion for photodetection in uplinks. In this study, an approach is proposed which takes advantage of the nonlinear wave mixing inside a semiconductor laser between an input optical signal carrying a microwave subcarrier and the period-one nonlinear dynamics invoked by the input optical signal.
