- Additional information
- This article reports theoretical and experimental development of a unique, low cost, low complexity and robust optical Brillouin oscillator based microwave photonic down conversion generating high-frequency, high-spectral-purity microwave signals. For the first time, the reported optical Brillouin photonic mixer system is simultaneously designed to generate RF sources and to down-convert the incoming microwave signals. This work has been funded by industry Leonardo MW (RES-15287) and it deploys Stimulated Brillouin Scattering technique from our industry fully funded patent which has been granted recently (01/09/2020) (Granted Patent Number: GB2567646).
