  3. Introduction • Radio frequency up/down conversion might be useful in many microwave photonic applications • All optical up/down conversion can potentially reduce the reliance on the bandwidth of electrical circuit and enable up-conversion to a higher frequency. • Reconfigurable up/down conversion with higher dynamic range is highly required for different applications SSB CS-DSB Signal Freq. domain ω ω Up ω ωs ωs ωs Down 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 Time domain t t Baseband or IF over fiber RF over fiber

  5. Experimental Setup 400-m ZDW: ~1557nm 1-km 17ps/nm/km To suppress SBS of pumps Without destroying signals

  7. Operating Bandwidth First order FWM Input signal Idlers (S+ and S-) Second order FWM Power Ratio of Port2 Frequency spacing of two pumps: 20GHz, SMF:1-km • Power ratio is dependent on the wavelength of pumps and signals, as well as dispersion of the DE. • 2nd FWM are suppressed inherently, higher harmonic suppression ratio is expected

  8. Suppression Ratio and Power dependence Suppression ratio vs Up-conversion frequency BER vs Signal Power Received power for BER of 10-9 • >20 dB carrier suppression and harmonic suppression ratio of optical spectrum for up to 60GHz • >18dB harmonic suppression ratio of electrical spectrum for up to 48GHz • Optimal signal power decreases when the pump power is increased.

  13. Summary • A method of reconfigurable up/down conversion using a parametric loop mirror is proposed. • Up-conversion of up to 60GHz and down-conversion from 40GHz are demonstrated. • WDM signals simultaneously up/down-conversion are achieved. • The proposed method can save optical filters and has a higher dynamic range.
