F. Coppinger et al., NONRECURSIVE TUNABLE PHOTONIC FILTER USING WAVELENGTH-SELECTIVE TRUE TIME-DELAY, IEEE photonics technology letters, 8(9), 1996, pp. 1214-1216
We present a photonic feed-forward radio-frequency filter with all-opt
ical tunability. The filter incorporates a novel wavelength-selective
true time delay in a delay-line-canceler architecture. We demonstrate
tuning of the filter null frequency by changing the wavelength of the
optical carrier, Application of this technique in optically controlled
radars is discussed.
