Abstract

Integrated microwave photonics is an emerging field in which photonic integrated technologies are employed to realize on-chip integration of microwave photonic systems with the aim to enrich the functionalities and enhance the system performance. Silicon photonics, as one of the various photonic integrated technology platforms, has attracted worldwide attention to achieve microwave photonic system integration for its compatibility with the current CMOS technology and its potential of seamless integration with electronics. In this paper, an overview about our recent work on silicon-based integrated microwave photonics is presented with an emphasis on silicon-based on-chip photonic arbitrary microwave waveform generation and microwave signals processing.
