Abstract
A new configuration is proposed for an optoelectronic network (OEN) us ing microwave frequency mixing and multiplexing. The mxn OEN consists of m optical sources, m-parallel n-stage cascaded optical intensity mo dulators, and m photodetectors. The mxn OEN matrix is theoretically di scussed, and 1x2, 2x2 and 3x3 OENs are analyzed in detail. The 2x2 OEN , which mixes and multiplexes microwaves, is further investigated and the theoretical prediction derived from OEN equations is experimentall y confirmed.
