Wideband signal generation using frequency/phase modulation (FM/PM) is the key fundamental function for various applications such as radar and analog communication systems. It is well known that analog FM/PM communication systems can dramatically improve signal quality by spectral expansion. In classical communication theories, the Armstrong indirect method is one of the most popular methods for bandwidth expansion of FM signals.

However, most previous studies have employed discrete optical components. For the analog transport technology to be a more cost-effective and power-efficient solution, it is necessary to utilize existing integrated optical transceivers.
