Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photonics play a vital role as a key enabler in emerging and promising applications in communication and sensing. These applications encompass datacenters, automotive driving, 5G wireless networks, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and virtual reality. This Special Issue aims to focus on the recent advancements and future challenges in photonic technologies that enable and support these emerging applications. It covers topics such as optical fibers, photonic devices and systems, and signal processing techniques.
This Special Issue constitutes the second volume of our previous Special Issue, titled "Photonics for Emerging Applications in Communication and Sensing". We invite papers on a wide range of topics, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Silicon passive and active devices for data communication, 5G, sensing, or imaging.
- Optical fiber subsystems for communication, detection, and sensing.
- Photonic signal processing leveraging nonlinear optics for optical networks.
- Digital signal processing techniques for optical transmission systems.
- Photonic integrated circuits for communication, sensing, and computing.
- Integrated communication and sensing systems.
- Optical biochemical sensing systems.
- Cutting-edge developments in optical network technology.
- Machine learning in optical systems and networks.

Abstract: We propose a novel reception scheme for twin-single-sideband (twin-SSB) signals just using a single photodetector (PD), significantly reducing system complexity and cost. To detect a twin-SSB with power-unbalanced quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) sidebands, upon detection via a single PD at the receiver side, two QPSKs carried in two sidebands are coherently superposed and detected in a 16-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16-QAM) format. This technique notably diminishes the linearity and effective number of bits (ENOB) requirements for the transmitter components in high-speed optical transmission systems. Moreover, a hierarchical blind phase search (HBPS) algorithm is proposed to compensate for the imperfect phase rotation of QPSK signals during transmission. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method, we successfully conducted simulations of 112Gb/s 16-QAM signal transmission over a 10km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF), achieving bit error rates (BERs) of 7.84×10−4, well below the 7% hard-decision forward error correction (HD-FEC) threshold of 3.8×10−3.
