Abstract
A photonic miser can upconvert/downconvert the signal in a fiber link to replace a conventional electronic mixer. We demonstrate a photonic mixer with frequency doubling that can be driven by half the intermedi ate frequency with low-cost microwave and optical components, The phot onic mixer has a conversion loss of about 3.2 dB, which is the lowest conversion loss ever reported.
