Abstract
Systems and method are provided to for suppressing interference signals in optical systems, without prior knowledge of the type of location of the interferers, while maintaining a linear response to small signals of interest (SOI). By exploiting the unique power (or voltage) dependent transmission function of an externally angle-modulated photonic link, embodiments of the present disclosure are configured to provide strong, wideband interference suppression without requiring detailed knowledge of the interfering signal.
