Resumen
We present a novel technique to generate orthogonally polarized
optical single sideband modulated signals. The modulation scheme is based
on all optical stimulated Brillouin scattering processing of the optical carrier
of an optical single sideband modulated signal, by means of the polarization
state dragging induced by this non-linear effect. This modulation technique

We present a novel technique to generate orthogonally polarized
optical single sideband modulated signals. The modulation scheme is based
on all optical stimulated Brillouin scattering processing of the optical carrier
of an optical single sideband modulated signal, by means of the polarization
state dragging induced by this non-linear effect. This modulation technique
can be used in several microwave photonics applications, such as antenna
beamforming or microwave photonics filters. In order to perform a proofof-concept
experiment, the orthogonal modulator is deployed for the
implementation of an RF phase-shifter. [--]
