The proposed method is based on a four-wave mixing (FWM) approach in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) of both even order side-bands generated by an unknown microwave frequency modulating an optical carrier. The optical power of a generated FWM signal depends on frequency spacing between extracted side-bands. A mathematical relation is established between FWM power and frequency of an unknown signal. A calibration curve is drawn based on the mathematical relation which predicts the unknown frequency from power withdrawn after FWM}, type={Article}, title={All optical measurement of an unknown wideband microwave frequency}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/116106/PDF-MASTER/pan_doi_blank.pdf}, keywords={unknown frequency measurement, optical device, Mach-Zehnder modulator, semiconductor optical amplifier, four-wave mixing}, }
