Abstract

Soliton crystal micro-combs are powerful tools as sources of multiple wavelength channels for radio frequency (RF) signal processing. They offer a compact device footprint, a large number of wavelengths, very high versatility, and wide Nyquist bandwidths. Here, we demonstrate integral order RF signal processing functions based on a soliton crystal micro-comb, including a Hilbert transformer and first, second and third-order differentiators. We compare and contrast the results and the trade-offs involved with varying the comb spacing, and tap design and shaping methods.
