An RF-lightwave transmitter performs successive conversions of an information-bearing input signal in order to generate an output signal suitable for transmission in a wireless communications system. The transmitter includes a high-efficiency FM laser connected to a FM discriminator. In operation, the laser converts an RF signal into a frequency-modulated optical signal, and the discriminator converts this signal into an amplitude-modulated optical signal. The discriminator performs its conversion using a high slope-efficiency linear transfer function which ensures that the AM optical signal varies in accordance with a desired operational performance. The transmitter also includes a photodiode which converts the AM signal output from the optical discriminator back into an RF signal for transmission. Experimental results demonstrated that a transmitter of this type is able to realize greater than 10 dB RF insertion gain at less than 0 dBm optical power, with a high spurious-free dynamic range and low noise. A signal processor embodied within the transmitter may be used in a purely optical communication systems or may be used for other types of RF-photonics applications such as those expected for use in next-generation systems.

A method and apparatus is described for removing particles from an air-flow. An air-flow containing microscopic particulate matter is passed through a filter that rotates or oscillates at a high rate of speed relative to the speed of the air-flow and in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the air-flow. The filter in motion impacts and thereby removes particulate matter from the air passing through it, yet the far smaller air molecules pass unimpeded through the mesh in the filter. The filter and filtration system maintain consistent operational performance despite changes in the condition of the filter and / or changes in the operational environment by adjusting the filter's speed and / or by cleaning the filter on a periodic or continuous basis. The effective life of a filter is extended, thereby increasing the period of time between filter replacements and reducing life-cycle man-power and material costs without any sacrifices in performance.
