Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electronic circuit technology is the basis for achieving a rapid and stable industry. Laser radar technology is one of the 35 key technologies that have been blocked in China. It offers great opportunities but faces challenges at all levels to break through technological innovation and achieve independent control of core technologies. This journal mainly displays the relevant achievements in the development of circuits and systems as well as laser radar systems. Topics of interest mainly include the theoretical analysis of digital circuits and analog circuits, photoelectric detection technology, digital filters and signal processing, FPGA system design, intelligent machine development, embedded system development, intelligent system control, free-space optical communication, optical communication modulation and demodulation technology, optical communication networking technology, laser radar chip technology, laser ranging technology, optical phased array control technology, laser radar imaging technology, the integration of laser radar communication, the development of all-solid-state laser radar systems and other related topics.

The nonlinear Kerr effect and chromatic dispersion are the fundamental causes of optical signal degradation in single-mode fiber (SMF) and erbium-doped fiber-amplification (EDFA)-based wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission. Dispersion management combined with a midway optical phase conjugator among the technologies for compensating for such optical signal distortion is known to not be limited by the modulation format and multiplexing technology. Optimization of the dispersion map can partially alleviate the capacity and maximum transmission distance limitations of the SMF and EDFA system. In this paper, we propose various types of symmetric dispersion maps in which the position of zero-crossing place of the cumulative dispersion is not constant, and analyze the effect of each dispersion map configuration on 40 Gb/s × 24-channel WDM signal distortion compensation. When designed with the residual dispersion per span (RDPS) around 400 ps/nm, it is confirmed that most of the proposed dispersion maps are more effective in compensating the distorted WDM signal than conventional dispersion map. In particular, we confirm that, among the proposed dispersion maps, the dispersion map in which the RDPS is designed uniformly for all fiber spans can increase the power margin of WDM channel and expand the range of the total residual dispersion in the dispersion-managed link.

A shortwave infrared Ge–Si photodetector will become the core device of the LiDAR optical receiver. In order to meet the urgent demand for photodetectors in the LiDAR field, we designed and produced a 32 × 32-pixel Ge–Si photodetector array, which was proposed and developed to meet the performance requirements of the detector array. A dark current detection system for fast scanning and detecting large-scale Ge–Si detector arrays was proposed and developed to achieve the rapid detection of dark current in each detector pixel, with a detection accuracy of less than 1 nA. The system validated the primary performance indicators of the detector array we designed, achieving rapid discrimination of the array performance and rapid localization of damaged pixels. The scanning test results showed that the average dark current of the designed detector array chip was on the nanoampere level, and the proportion of bad points was less than 1%. The consistency of the array chip was high, which meets the requirements of light detection at the receiving end of LiDAR. This work laid the foundation for our subsequent development of a LiDAR prototype system. Full article
