We propose a novel scheme to transmit high center frequency RF signals using electroabsorption devices (EADs) as frequency converters at the transmitter and the receiver. In this approach frequency heterodyning is employed for obtaining high center frequency. With the EAD as a detector/mixer at the receiver we demonstrated a smaller conversion loss than that of the conventional modulator/mixer. With EAD as a modulator/mixer at the transmitter and with two heterodyned lasers to generate an optical local oscillator (LO), we demonstrated a large reduction (${\sim}23dB$) in conversion loss, and the transmission is not limited by the optical saturation of the EAD. This transmission scheme has optical single-side-band transmission feature which greatly relieves the fiber dispersion effect.

A frequency stable and tunable optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) incorporating an optical phase shifter and a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PS-FBG) is designed and analyzed. The frequency tunability of the OEO can be realized by using a tunable microwave photonic bandpass filter consisting of a PS-FBG, a phase modulator. The optical phase compensation loop is used to compensate for the phase variations of the RF signal from the OEO by adjusting an optical phase shifter. Simulation results demonstrate that the output RF signals of the OEO can be tuned in a frequency range of 118 MHz to 24.092 GHz. When the ambient temperature fluctuates within ±3.9 ℃, the frequency drifts of the output RF signals are less than 68 Hz, the side-mode suppression ratios are more than 69.39 dB, and the phase noise is less than -92.49 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset frequency.

A wideband instantaneous frequency measurement (IFM) system is been proposed, designed and analyzed. Phase modulation to intensity modulation conversion is implemented based on the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) effect, and the microwave frequency can be measured by detecting the change in output power. Theoretical analysis shows that the frequency measurement range can be extended to 4f_b by adjusting the two sweeping signals of the phase modulators with a difference of 2f_b. The IFM system is set up using VPI transmission maker software and the performances are simulated and analyzed. The simulation results show that the measurement range is 0.5-45.96 GHz with a maximum measurement error of less than 9.9 MHz. The proposed IFM system has a wider measurement range than the existing SBS-based IFM system.

We report an efficient jitter reduction technique in an analog fier-optic link employing a Mach-Zehnder modulator followed by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. By adjusting the modulator-bias to $0.089V_{\pi}$, we could increase the RF gain up to 10.65 dB for 10 GHz RF signal and reduce the random jitter by 46.5%, max, at an input optical power of -0.11 dBm to the EDFA.

We demonstrated experimentally a variable optical frequency comb source using a cascaded dual parallel Mach Zehnder modulator (DPMZM) and a phase modulator (PM). With this simple configuration and applying low drive voltages, we generated variable comb source composed of spectral lines 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 with 10-GHz frequency spacing, also generated 2 and 3 spectral lines with 20 GHz frequency spacing. The generated comb source maintains high spectral coherence across the entire bandwidth with good spectral flatness (within 1-dB for 2, 3, 5, 7 comb lines, within 2-dB for 9-comb lines and within 3-dB for 11 comb lines). The flat and variable comb source is mainly achieved by manipulating 6 operating parameters of DPMZM, setting RF amplifier gain, connected at phase modulator and phase shifters. Hence the method is simple and offers great flexibility in achieving flat and variable comb spectrum, which is experimentally demonstrated. This brings advantages of power efficiency due to low driving voltages, simplicity and cost effectiveness to the system.

We present the enhancement of narrowband modulation response of an optical source by integrating a dual-electrode distributed feedback (DFB) laser with an electro-absorption modulator (EAM). The dual-electrode DFB laser exhibits a multiple optical modes owing to a self-pulsation in GHz range. By modulating the laser and modulator sections of the integrated device simultaneously, 20-dB of narrowband modulation response enhancement at 6 GHz with 7-GHz tuning range has been observed.

We designed and constructed the Cs beam tube which consists of a Ramsey cavity, four C-field rods, fluorescence detecting systems, and etc. for developing an optically pumped Cs atomic clock. A semiconductor laser was used for optical pumping and probing in the Cs beam. We observed Ramsey resonance signal by detecting the fluorescence signal in the probing region as the microwave frequency injected into the Ramsey cavity was scanned near 9192.6 MHz which corresponds to the "clock transition" of Cs atoms. We found that the linewidth of the Ramsey signal was 200 Hz, the magnetic field intensity was $8.61\muT$ when the current of 0.8A flowed in the C-field rods, and the second order Zeeman shift by the magnetic field was 3.17 Hz.s 3.17 Hz.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an all-optical radio frequency (RF) spectrum broadening system based on time compression. By utilizing the procedure of dispersion compensation values, the frequency domain is broadened by compressing the linear chirp optical pulse which has been multiplexed by the radio frequency. A detailed mathematical description elucidates that the time compression is a very preferred scheme for spectrum broadening. We also report experimental results to prove this method, magnification factor at 2.7, 8 and 11 have been tested with different dispersion values of fiber, the experimental results agree well with the theoretical results. The proposed system is flexible and the magnification factor is determined by the dispersion values, the proposed scheme is a linear system. In addition, the influence of key parameters, for instance optical bandwidth and the sideband suppression ratio (SSR), are discussed. Magnification factor 11 of the proposed system is demonstrated.
