A multi-octave microwave downconverter based on a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator

A microwave downconverter based on optical single-sideband modulation by a dualdrive Mach-Zehnder modulator and carrier suppression by a fiber Bragg grating is proposed and demonstrated, which implements multi-octave downconversion with suppressed mixing spurs.
