Abstract
We report a multifunctional microwave photonic signal processor based on dual-parallel Mach–Zehnder modulator and stimulated Brillouin scattering. The signal processor acts as a microwave photonic filter (MPF) and microwave photonic phase shifter (MPS) simultaneously. The MPF and MPS can be tuned separately. Experimental results demonstrate that the central frequency of the bandpass MPF is tunable from 3 to 18 GHz while the MPS in the passband of the MPF is continuously adjustable over 360 deg.
