Abstract: High-performance ultra-wideband Phased Array Antennas (PAA) are disclosed, having unique capabilities, enabled through photonic integrated circuits and novel optical architectures. Unique capabilities for PAA systems are enabled by photonic integration and ultra-low-loss waveguides. Novel aspects include optical multiplexing combining wavelength division multiplexing and/or a novel extension to array photodetectors, providing the capability to combine many RF photonic signals with very low loss. Architectures include tunable optical up-conversion and down-conversion systems, moving a chosen frequency band between baseband and a high RF frequency band with high dynamic range. Simultaneous multi-channel RF beamforming is achieved through power combining/splitting of optical signals.

Abstract: High-performance ultra-wideband Phased Array Sensors (PAS) are disclosed, which have unique capabilities, enabled through photonic integrated circuits and novel optical architectures. Unique capabilities for a Receive PAS are provided by wafer scale photonic integration including heterogeneous integration of III-V materials and ultra-low-loss silicon nitride waveguides, combining key component technologies into complex PIC devices. Novel aspects include optical multiplexing combining wavelength division multiplexing and/or a novel extension to array photodetectors providing the capability to combine many RF photonic signals with very low loss. The architecture also includes optical down-conversion, as well as digital signal processing to improve the linearity of the system. Simultaneous multi-channel beamforming is achieved through optical power splitting of optical signals to create multiple exact replicas of the signals that are then processed independently.

Abstract: A novel transmitter is proposed that provides broadband all-optical linearization of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) modulator for use in high linearity RF photonic links and optical up-converter and down-converter schemes. It is based on an amplitude modulated (AM) MZI modulator where part of the laser Carrier is passed around the MZI modulator and added back to the AM signal, creating a Controlled Carrier-AM (CC-AM) signal. In this new scheme, a dual output MZI modulator is utilized, and the alternative output (Carrier*) is used together with the Carrier from the laser to create a new signal, LO*, which when coherently combined with the AM signal can reduce or completely cancel its 3rd order intermodulation distortion.

Abstract: The present invention reduces the level of optical reflections created in a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) going back into an integrated laser through Reflection Engineering; optimizing the phase/timing and position of optical reflections inherent to a PIC design while adding engineered reflections to the PIC to allow inherent reflections to be reduced or eliminated. The Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) geometric optical isolator of the present invention combines an array of closely spaced WDM lasers with an array of modulators in a novel geometry in order to provide effective optical isolation of the lasers.
