Description
Summary:A tunable up frequencies of microwave photonics based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) for application in radio over fiber is demonstrated. The experimental setup consists of 7.7 km dispersion compensated fiber, which acts as the nonlinear medium for generating the SBS and is pumped by a narrow linewidth (0.015 nm) tunable laser operating in L-band region. The input-modulated RF at 2 GHz is upshifted to new frequencies of 7.71, 7.68, 7.65, 7.62, 7.58, and 7.56 GHz at Brillouin pump wavelengths of 1580, 1585, 1590, 1595, 1600, and 1605 nm, respectively. This system allows certain tunability in the upshifted frequencies by using a tunable laser source.
