Abstract :
A highly-scalable photonic quadrature amplitude modulation architecture based on vector summation and dispersive delay lines, which can generate QAM signals directly from parallel digital words is proposed and experimentally demonstrated by generating a 3 Gbps¿8QAM¿39 GHz modulated carrier.
