RT Journal Article T1 Electrical FIR Filter With Optical Coefficients for Self-Referencing WDM Intensity Sensors A1 Montalvo García, Julio A1 Araujo, F.M. A1 Ferreira, L.A. A1 Vázquez García, María Carmen A1 Baptista, José Manuel AB In this letter, a novel radio-frequency finite impulse reponse (FIR) electrooptical configuration for self-referencing optical wavelength-division-multiplexed intensity sensors is reported. By employing the proposed low-cost electronic FIR filter at the reception stage, the use of a 14-km fiber delay coil is avoided for a 2-kHz modulation frequency, preserving sensitivity and self-reference. The technique is analyzed following the Z-transform formalism and measurements validating the theoretical model are reported.
