We design a compact diplexer by using a silicon photonic-crystal directional coupler having a length that is comparable to the wavelength for terahertz-wave communication integrated circuits. We experimentally demonstrate gigabit frequency-division communication in the 0.32-THz band by using a wavelength-scale (~1-mm length) diplexer.

Optical coherent beam control is attractive technique to realize precise and high-speed control of a far field beam pattern, to increase optical power with high beam brightness, and to ensure robustness on optical communication link between satellites. In the above applications optical phase and intensity of single or multiple beams have to be precisely detected and distinguished. Microwave photonics perform important roles for extraction of this optical information. We describe coherent beam combining technology of multiple phase modulated beams and optical coherent receiver technology for inter-satellite communication as our recent activities.

We present synthesis of low noise microwave signals from 9.5-10.5 GHz via optical frequency division and direct digital synthesis. Over the entire synthesized band we measure an absolute phase noise level of less than -100 dBc/Hz at a 1 Hz offset, corresponding to an oscillator instability of 2 × 10-15 at a 1 s averaging time.

A coherent microwave photonic (MWP) link with digital phase noise cancellation is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. At the transmitter, the optical carrier is phase modulated by a microwave signal via a polarization modulator (PolM). Then, the phase-modulated optical signal is sent to the coherent receiver over a 25-km single mode fiber (SMF). At the receiver, the phase-modulated optical signal is detected by a polarization- and phase-diversity coherent optical receiver, to generate two signals. The phase noise introduced by both the transmitter laser source and the local oscillator (LO) laser source is converted into an amplitude noise at the output of the coherent receiver. Through multiplying the two signals from the coherent receiver, the phase noise can be completely cancelled. Error-free transmission of a 2.5-Gbps 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) microwave signal over a 25-km SMF is experimentally demonstrated. The error vector magnitude (EVM) of the recovered signal after the DSP-based phase noise cancellation (PNC) module can reach 6.11%.

An all-optical frequency up-converter utilizing electro-absorption modulators (EAMs) based frequency-doubling optoelectronic oscillator (FD-OEO) is experimentally demonstrated. The FD-OEO based on two cascaded EAMs is utilized as a frequency-doubled photonic LO signal generator and an all-optical frequency up-converter. A 21.25 GHz optical RF signal is generated by mixing a frequency-doubled 20 GHz optical LO signal with an 1.25 GHz optical IF signal. The conversion efficiency and the phase noise characteristics of the all-optical frequency up-converter are characterized.

We propose and demonstrate an integrated coupled resonator optical waveguide (CROW)-based bandpass filter in TriPleX™ technology for microwave photonic signal processing. The system principle allows the selection of a channel in a dense-frequency-division subcarrier satellite communication system. Using tunable phase shifters for each resonator and tunable power couplers, every time a power coupler is needed, is possible to achieve full programmability and full reconfigurability for the realized device. These characteristics allow a center frequency tunability over a full free spectral range (FSR) and a bandwidth tunability, which can be as small as tens of MHz. Furthermore, the device can be easily integrated with other functional building blocks in photonic integrated circuits to realize an on-chip complex microwave photonic signal processor.

We have successfully developed a quantum dot (QD) electro-absorption device with a highly stacked InAs/InGaAlAs QD structure. A 1.55-μm waveband electro-absorption effect and a quantum confined Stark effect of approximately 22 meV under the application of a 9.0-V reverse bias voltage are clearly observed in the developed QD device.

A staring wideband RF channelization using parametric multicasting and spectral slicing via a periodic optical filter with 32 implemented channels is presented. Parametric multicasting is technique which replicates and spectrally translates an RF signal via optical nonlinear processes. Injection locking of the pump and signal lasers to a single master laser was implemented to improve performance and stabilize pump and signal spacings. Sensitivity and dynamic range in each channel is also discussed.
