Performance Evaluation of Dual-Drive Mach-Zehnder Modulator and Optomechanical Crystal Cavity Comb Generation for All-Optical Band Conversion in 5G-Advanced Cellular Systems by Vicente Fito, Raul Ortiz, Maria Morant, Laura Mercade, Alejandro Martinez, Roberto Llorente

“…Their effectiveness in all-optical frequency conversion depends on their stability in terms of frequency drift, phase noise, and power distribution across the comb lines. This paper evaluates experimentally the generation of optical frequency combs employing two distinct technologies: a dual-driven Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) and an optomechanical crystal cavity (OMCC), and experimentally compares their performance for all-optical frequency conversion of 5G data streams. …”
