Abstract

In this study, we realize an integrated generation of optical Single SideBand with Carrier (SSB+C) signal for microwave photonics applications. It has been achieved using a Micro Ring Modulator (MRM) combined with a cavity based wavelength selective filter. MRM, when applied with an RF input, results in a Double SideBand with Carrier (DSB+C) signal where one sideband is suppressed by applying this signal to the filter. The filter has been created using a single resonance-split self-coupled cavity with an extremely high shape factor of 0.69. The sideband suppression ratio between DSB+C and SSB+C ranges from 16 dB to 55 dB for a frequency range of 4 GHz to 20 GHz. Tunable suppression ratio of 21 dB has been achieved at a fixed frequency of 15 GHz. Dynamic range performance of the generated signal has been evaluated at a noise floor of -156 dBm. The dynamic range remains stable in the range of 1 GHz - 5 GHz at � 80 dB.Hz2�3.
