Mode-division multiplexing for microwave signal processing
Abstract
We present an overview of different mode-division multiplexing fiber technologies engineered to provide tunable microwave signal processing, including signal filtering and optical beamforming for phased-array antennas. The exploitation of both the space and wavelength dimensions brings advantages in terms of increased compactness, flexibility and versatility.
