摘要
We introduce the fundamentals of optical carrier Brillouin processing and discuss its applications to the field of microwave photonics. This signal processing technique is based on the control of the amplitude as well as the phase of the optical carrier of a modulated lightwave signal using the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect. Application of the technique to improve the performance of microwave/millimeter-wave fiber links is experimentally demonstrated. (C) 2002 Esevier Science (USA).
