Abstract

An array of fiber optic RF filters each responsive to a predetermined wavelength forms a channelizer for a wide bandwidth receiver used in a dense signal environment having complex modulations. Each fiber optic RF filter comprises a resonant cavity formed from a section of multimode optic fiber with a dielectric mirror deposited at each end and wherein the cavity length corresponds to one half the respective modulation signal wavelength of optical energy fed into the filter optic cavity from a laser diode which is modulated by the received RF energy.
