Microwave photonics connected with microresonator frequency combs

Microresonator frequency combs (microcombs) are very promising as ultra-compact broadband sources for microwave photonic applications. Conversely, microwave photonic techniques are also employed inten- sely in the study of microcombs to reveal and control the comb formation dynamics. In this paper,...

Summary:Microresonator frequency combs (microcombs) are very promising as ultra-compact broadband sources for microwave photonic applications. Conversely, microwave photonic techniques are also employed inten- sely in the study of microcombs to reveal and control the comb formation dynamics. In this paper, we reviewed the microwave photonic techniques and applications that are connected with microcombs. The future research directions of microcomb-based microwave photonics were also discussed.
