Abstract

The polarization reversal techniques of ferroelectric optical crystals enable us to construct new high-speed microwave signal processing devices with advanced functions; wireless microwave signal discrimination for space-division-multiplexing systems, pre-equalization for signal distortion caused by fiber dispersion in long haul optical fiber communications, and so on. In this paper, potential of these new functional devices for microwave photonic systems is discussed.
