DESCRIPTION:Both the scientific and the defense communities wish to receive
  and process information occupying ever-wider portions of the electromagne
 tic spectrum. This can often create an analog-to-digital conversion “bot
 tleneck”. Analog photonic channelization\, linearization\, and frequency
  conversion systems can be designed to alleviate this bottleneck. Moreover
 \, the low loss and dispersion of optical fiber and integrated optical wav
 eguides enable most of the components in a broadband sensing or communicat
 ion system\, including all of the analog-to-digital and digital processing
  hardware\, to be situated many feet or even miles from the antennas or ot
 her sensors with almost no performance penalty. The presentation will high
 light the advantages and other features of analog photonic systems (includ
 ing some specific systems that the author has constructed and tested for t
 he US Department of Defense)\, and will review and explain multiple techni
 ques for optimizing their performance.\n\nSpeaker(s): Edward I. Ackerman\,

 ities wish to receive and process information occupying ever-wider portion
 s of the electromagnetic spectrum. This can often create an analog-to-digi
 tal conversion &ldquo\;bottleneck&rdquo\;. Analog photonic channelization\
 , linearization\, and frequency conversion systems can be designed to alle
 viate this bottleneck. Moreover\, the low loss and dispersion of optical f
 iber and integrated optical waveguides enable most of the components in a 
 broadband sensing or communication system\, including all of the analog-to
