Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue on Microwave Photonics Signal Generation and Processing.

Microwave photonics, as a new interdisciplinary field integrating microwave technology and photonic technology, has been widely used in the fields of communication, sensing, biology, medicine, aerospace, military and security. With the development of electronic information systems to broadband, array and miniaturization, microwave photonics is considered to be one of the key technologies to solve the speed and bandwidth bottlenecks faced by information systems. Microwave photonics techniques and systems, such as microwave photonics signal generation, microwave photonics filters, microwave photonics mixers, photonics ADC/DAC, microwave photonics sensing and measurement, microwave photonics radars, and intelligent microwave photonics technology, are attracting more and more interest from the research community.

In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the fields of microwave photonics signal generation and processing. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive review papers.

Abstract
At 2 µm wavelengths (149.9 THz), hollow-core photonics band gap fibers have higher light power damage thresholds, stable polarization states, and lower losses of 0.1 dB/km. Additionally, a thulium-doped fiber amplifier can provide a gain of >35 dB. Specifically, an indium-rich InGaAs photodetector [...] Read more.
At 2 µm wavelengths (149.9 THz), hollow-core photonics band gap fibers have higher light power damage thresholds, stable polarization states, and lower losses of 0.1 dB/km. Additionally, a thulium-doped fiber amplifier can provide a gain of >35 dB. Specifically, an indium-rich InGaAs photodetector shows a naturally higher photoresponsivity at 2 µm wavelengths than the C-band. Therefore, using tunable photo-generated microwave technology at 2 µm wavelengths could achieve higher photo-to-electric power conversion efficiencies for higher RF output power applications using the same method at the same frequency. Here, a double sideband with the carrier suppression modulation method was experimentally applied on 2 µm wavelengths to generate tunable and stable microwave carriers. Comparison experiments were also applied on the 1.55 µm (193.4 THz)/1.31 µm wavelengths (228.8 THz) based on the same indium-rich InGaAs photodetector. Through normalization on the wavelength-corresponded squared external quantum efficiency to visualize the photo-to-electric power conversion efficiency at different wavelengths under the same input optical signal power, the ratio between the results at 2 µm wavelengths and C/O-band is abstracted as 1.31/1.98, approaching theoretical estimations. This corresponds to a power conversion efficiency increasement of ~1.16 dB/~2.98 dB. To our knowledge, this is the first study on 2 micron wavelengths that proves the corresponding high efficiency power conversion property. Full article
