Abstract

In this paper, the detrimental effects due to the inevitable dispersion of single-mode fibers for stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) based microwave photonic notch filters (MPNF) with sideband amplitude and phase control are investigated. With an inappropriate dispersion compensation, the experimental demonstration shows a notch center frequency shift of 8.3 MHz in maximum and a stopband rejection reduction by 21 dB for the MPNF. The simulation and experiment are in good agreement. Furthermore, the criteria of optimizing the filter performance are also discussed both theoretically and experimentally. These results can help design MPNF based on SBS and benefit other microwave photonic applications, which rely on the phase difference of optical waves.
