description

Abstract In this paper we demonstrate that broadband light emitters filtered with fiber Bragg gratings are a suitable light source for RF-photonics applications. A 0.075 nm bandwidth fiber grating illuminated by a light emitter of 40 nm bandwidth has been used as light source to feed a microwave phase shifter based on a chirped fiber Bragg grating. The device operates successfully in the tested frequency range (0.5–6) GHz and has been optically tuned in a range of 4 nm.
