摘要：

In this paper we propose and demonstrate a photonically implemented instantaneous frequency measurement system. This system uses two differentially delayed modulated optical carriers that are mixed using a semiconductor optical amplifier. The output of the system includes a DC component that varies as a function of frequency. This can be used for frequency measurement using a low-cost DC photo-detector. Operation is demonstrated from 2-20GHz.
