Abstract
Photonic signal processing is being evaluated for signal recovery in phase-agnostic coherent receivers. Taking advantage of efficient direct-drive translation of photocurrents to the optical frequency domain for subsequent signal processing, the circuit can perform at half the energy cost when compared to RF-based envelope detection.
