Abstract
The authors demonstrate a photonic analogue-digital converter architec ture based on temporal-spectral mapping. Linearily chirped optical pul ses form a quasi-continuous carrier modulated by the analogue RF signa l. The signal is separated into several distinct wavelength channels f or parallel demodulation and quantisation. Measurements performed on 7 0ps electrical signals indicate six bit resolution.
