Multichannel photonic mixing based on cascade carrier suppression

Designed a multi-channel photonic mixing system based on cascade carrier suppression, which can achieve frequency conversions simultaneously for multi-channels, effectively inhibit the generation of third-order intermodulation, and significantly reduce the insertion loss in the conversion process. Meanwhile, a simulation with the software Optisystem has been done, indicating excellent frequency-conversion characteristics and good scalability of this scheme, that shows the microwave photonic frequency conversion can be a potential application for microwave signal parallel processing.
