A novel technique for achieving SSB-SC is proposed for achieving high dynamic range in analog applications. The technique employs an intracavity modulator together with an intracavity filter that blocks the modulation sidebands from being re-circulated. Spurious-free dynamic ranges (SFDR) exceeding 120 dB/Hz2/3 is achieved using this novel technique. Development of a prototype photonics circuit with 20 GHz bandwidth and instantaneous bandwidth greater than 1 GHz will be demonstrated.
