GHz-class Photonic Tunable Interleaver with Timing Jitter Compression Below 100 fs Based on a MHz-Class Low-Frequency Arbitrary Waveform Generator Upgraded by Optical Time Compression

We demonstrate a photonic sampling rate tunable interleaver for microwave region based on a 100 MHz low-frequnecy AWG boosted by optical time compression so as to upgrade operation frequency from MHz to GHz region as well as timing jitter from 3.6 ps to 98 fs.
