Integrated Programmable Microwave Photonic Filter with High Shape-factor

In order to accommodate the development of new communication technology, an integrated programmable microwave photonic filter with high shape-factor is proposed in this paper. This filter is based on Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) and an eight-tap finite impulse response. By controlling the thermal heaters on the amplitude modulator and phase modulator of each tap, a rectangular filter with tunable bandwidth and high shape-factor greater than 0.55 is obtained. Furthermore, the tunability of central frequency, bandwidth and variable pass-band shape can be also realized. Small size, light weight and flexibility are advantages of the preposed filters, moreover, it can be applied to large bandwidth signal processing and an alternative method to part the channels. So it can be widely used in defense field and 5G networks.
