The method has the potential to achieve very high precision, requires only low power and can be fully tunable in the electrical domain. Sampling rates of three and four times the RF bandwidths of the photonics and electronics can be achieved. Thus, the presented method might lead to low-footprint, fully-integrated, precise, electrically tunable, photonic ADCs with very high-analog bandwidths for the digital infrastructure of tomorrow. 2019 eng Opt.
