Abstract
A discipline that is fast emerging as an important component in modern high-speed data-transfer and communications technology is microwave photonics (MWP). MWP studies and applies the interaction between microwave and optical waves (light- and radio-waves) for high-speed applications, typically aimed at the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequency spectrum.
