Periodic reference phase folding enables modulo ADCs to quantize wideband analog signals at high sampling rates with lower timing jitter.
A reverse-path CW laser measures phase drift in a passive remote sampler, letting a pADC correct aliasing-prone signal/reference mismatch.
Optical-domain perturbation in photonic random sampling speeds combinatorial optimization while improving convergence beyond digital bottlenecks.
Pulsed laser clocking and quantum pulse gates enable optical ADC conversion with high resolution, low distortion, and no cryogenic cooling.
Optical dithering and coherent detection help a photonic monobit ADC raise sampling rate while reducing spurs and power use.
Independently addressable optical modulator segments enable precise digital-to-analog conversion with lower power and less circuit complexity.
CMOS sensor arrays matched to each interpolation period cut ADC complexity while preserving high-resolution optical encoder precision.
Phase modulation and optical interference replace energy-hungry electronic sampling, enabling lower-power analog-to-digital conversion.
Phase-modulated optical sampling and parallel converters raise ADC resolution and sampling accuracy for high-frequency signals.
A single-laser photonic integrated ADC uses multi-wavelength delay generation and pre-distortion to raise sampling rate while reducing jitter and cost.
