The system combines a high-speed electro-optic modulator with a Kerr comb for spectrally sliced coherent detection and is used for digitizing ultra-broadband data signals.Computer Science, Information SystemsEngineering, Electrical & ElectronicOpticsPhysics, AppliedTelecommunicationsComputer ScienceEngineeringOpticsPhysicsTelecommunicationselectrooptic modulator320 GHz Analog-to-Digital Converter Exploiting Kerr Soliton Combs and Photonic-Electronic Spectral Stitchingtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
