Abstract
A 12Gsample/s optoelectronic analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) based on w avelength division sampling and demultiplexing is presented. A wavelength-s elective true-time-delay device generates a continuous-time 12Gsample/s pul se train. The pulse train samples the analogue electrical signal in an elec tro-optic modulator. The samples are demultiplexed using a passive optical filter, and digitised using three 4Gsample/s electronic digitisers.
