Ultra-high peak rejection notch microwave photonic filter using a single silicon microring resonator

We propose a simple approach to realize ultra-high peak rejection notch microwave photonic filter (MPF). Using a conventional phase modulator and a tunable bandpass filter, we achieve a notch MPF with an ultra-high peak rejection > 60 dB based on a single notch silicon microring resonator.
