Abstract
We report on microwave signal-mixing functionality for a fiber-based optoelectronic oscillator. Two wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) channels carrying RF signals at 1320 and 1312 nm are simultaneously upconverted/downconverted by the fiber-based optoelectronic oscillator. The conversion efficiency is found to be approximately -8 dB, and the incoming signals have no effects on the local oscillator spectral purity. This new functionality may be useful in fiber-fed phased-array antenna systems and hybrid WDM/subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) communications systems.
