【 摘 要 】

Microwave photonic systems arose from the need to accomplish engineering goals that were not possible in the electrical domain alone.One of the first applications of photonic systems was in long haul microwave signal transport, leveraging the wide bandwidth and low propagation loss afforded by optical fiber.As these microwave photonic links became more widespread, so too did the efforts to improve their performance, most importantly the desire to minimize noise and distortion within the link in order to maximize dynamic range and linear performance.In this thesis, we demonstrate a new class of methods for microwave photonic link linearization that connects insights from a seemingly unrelated field- nonlinear optics- with microwave photonics to enhance the distortion-free operation of these links.Finally, we show applications for these methods in other areas of microwave photonics, particularly microwave signal generation.
