Microwave photonic filters with a directly generated Gaussian-shaped optical frequency comb

Using electro-optic modulators, we generate a 41-line 10-GHz spaced Gaussian-shaped optical comb. We use this comb to demonstrate apodized microwave photonic filters with greater than 43-dB sidelobe suppression, without the need for a pulse shaper.
