Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Micro-nano photonic devices have been widely investigated for photonic signal processing at the micro-scale, showing great potential in integrated optical networks and optical interconnection. Many advanced micro-nano photonic information functional devices have emerged, such as the mode (de)multiplexer, optical switcher, optical router, etc. Further research will help to promote the practical application of micro-nano photonics in communication.

This Special Issue focuses on recent advances and future challenges in light-field manipulation, micro-nano photonics information functional devices and signal processing techniques, promoting important applications of optical communication, interconnection, computing, etc.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Light-field manipulation and its propagation characteristics;
  • Light–matter interaction at the micro-scale;
  • Metamaterials and metasurface devices;
  • Intelligent photonic techniques;
  • Advanced optical communication and photonic signal processing technologies.

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication systems relying on hybrid beamforming structures are capable of achieving high spectral efficiency at a low hardware complexity and with low power consumption. Tensor-based joint beamforming with low-cost ultrasonic and RIS-assisted Dual-Hop Hybrid free space optical (FSO) mm Wave massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) is proposed. To address the occlusion problem for high-speed mobility of the vehicle, an RIS-assisted mixed FSO-MIMO V2X system is proposed. The low-cost ultrasonic array signal model is developed to solve the accurate direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. The ultrasonic-assisted RIS phase shift matrix based on subspace self-organizing iterations is designed to track the beam direction between RIS and vehicle. Specifically, the associated bandwidth-efficiency maximization problem is transformed into a series of subproblems, where the subarray of phase shifters and RIS elements is jointly optimized to maximize each subarray’s rate. The vehicle motion state is transformed into a two-dimensional model for prior distribution to calculate the particle weights of the RIS phase. Multi-vehicle Tucker tensor decomposition is used to describe the high-dimensional beam space. We conceive a multi-vehicle joint optimization method for designing the hybrid beamforming matrix of the base station (BS) and the passive beamforming matrix of the RIS. A cascaded channel decomposition method based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is used to obtain the combined matrix beamforming of BS and vehicle. Our simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared to its traditional counterparts. Full article

In order to reduce the number of devices in and cost of a multifrequency vector millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal generation system, we propose a novel scheme for multifrequency vector mm-wave signal generation based on one dual-arm Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) without optical filtering. This scheme utilizes the carrier suppression modulation of a single modulator, without the need for optical filtering and combines precoding technology to generate high-frequency QPSK and 16 QAM mm-wave signals. The transmitter is applied with precoding technology to make the frequency multiplying vector mm-wave signal display regular vector modulation at the receiver, and the system is optimized with a phase factor to ensure that the phase distribution of QPSK signal at the receiver is symmetrical. We demonstrated the generation of 4-Gbaud 76 GHz QPSK and 16 QAM vector mm-wave signals through simulation. The simulation results show that, at a fiber transmission distance of 12 km, when the launched optical power of the PD is greater than −20.535 dBm, the bit error ratio (BER) of the QPSK signal is lower than the hard-decision forward error correction (HD-FEC) threshold of 3.8 × 10−3. At a fiber transmission distance of 10 km, when the launched optical power of the PD is greater than −18.637 dBm, the BER of 16 QAM signal is also lower than 3.8 × 10−3. Full article
