Abstract:
For the last 25 years, Microwave Photonics (MWP) systems and
links have relied almost exclusively on discrete optoelectronic devices and
standard optical fibers and fiber-based components which have been employed to
support several functionalities like RF signal generation, distribution,
processing and analysis. These configurations are bulky, expensive and
power-consuming while lacking in flexibility. A second generation, termed as
Integrated Micro-wave Photonics (IMWP) which aims at the incorporation of MWP
components/ subsystems in photonic circuits, is crucial for the implementation
of both low-cost and advanced analog optical front-ends and, thus, instrumental
to achieve these targets. After reviewing the basic principles of microwave
photonics (MWP) for the non-specialized technical audience, this lecture states
the case for the integrated approach towards MWP and overviews the available
technology platforms (InP, silicon, silica, silicon nitride, chalcogenides
etc..) for the implementation of MWP photonic integrated circuits(PICs),
outlining the main features advantages and limitations for each one.
The lecture then reviews the salient research results
reported during the last years in several applications and the different
platforms (MWP link, signal processing and filtering, signal generation, delay
lines, phase-shifters and beam-formers etc..) and finally introduces the
concept of the MWP transistor, a multipurpose signal processor architecture
which allows for the implrmrntation of all the main basic MWP functionalities.
The lecture is concluded with a summary and considerations on the future
directions of this field.
Biography:
Prof. José Capmany received the
Ingeniero de Telecomunicacion degree from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid
(UPM) in 1987 and the Licencia-do en Ciencias Físicas in 2009. Since 2002, he
is the Director of the Institute of Telecommunications and Multimedia (iTEAM)
at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. His research activities and
interests cover a wide range of subjects related to optical communications
including microwave photonics, integrated optics, optical signal processing,
fiber Bragg gratings, and more recently quantum cryptography and quantum
information processing using photonics. He has published over 450 papers in
international refereed journals and conferences. Professor Capmany has also the
Founder and current Chairman of the IPS Spanish Chapter, an OSA Fellow and IEE
fellow. He is also a founder and chief innovation officer of the spin-off company
VLC Photonics (www.vlcphotonics.com)
dedicated to the design of photonic integrated circuits. Professor Capmany is
the 2012 King James I Prize Laureate on novel technologies, the highest
scientific distinction in Spain, for his outstanding contributions to the field
of microwave photonics.
