Two optical transmitters are described, generating new modulation formats based on the simultaneous modulation of the amplitude and the phase of an optical signal. The proposed formats are compared to the traditional Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ), showing improved tolerances to chromatic dispersion (CD), differential group delay (DGD) and to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) channel spacing, and requiring electronics with halved bandwidth.

Since visible light communication (VLC) uses light-emitting diode (LED) as transmitters, it has dual functions of illumination and communication. To meet flexible lighting and energy-saving needs, we propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, dimming control scheme for spectrally efficient clipping-free multilayer optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CFMO-OFDM)-based VLC systems. In order to achieve high dynamic-range dimming control for LEDs, the time-domain CFMO-OFDM signals are first grouped based on frequency-domain subcarrier distribution.

Microwaves exhibit superior performance in free-space transmission compared to optical waves, primarily due to their ability to penetrate fog and experience lower losses in the Earth's atmosphere. Based on microwave-optical entanglement prepared by nano-cavity electro-opto-mechanic converters, we propose a scheme of a quantum positioning system using the distance-based positioning method. Principles of microwave-optical entanglement preparation and our QPS scheme are introduced in detail.

The scheme exploits the symmetry of the signal spectrum, which naturally arises from the transmitter's frequency response and introduces frequency skewness as a cost function to search for FO. To achieve fast FOE, the false position (FP) method is employed to iteratively compute frequency shifts.

Article Synopsis
- A silicon photonic optical phased array (OPA) was developed featuring ultra-low sidelobe levels to enhance signal clarity.
- The design includes arbitrary ratio power splitters (ARPSs) for adjusting amplitude distribution and utilizing the Chebyshev method for optimal performance.
- Experimental results show a sidelobe suppression ratio of 25.3 dB, with a field of view of 84° × 13° and successful implementation in frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) ranging applications.
Microresonator frequency comb-based high-speed data transmission provides a pathway towards augmented data capacity without increasing the number of laser sources. Their use with intensity-modulated direct detection modulation (IMDD) formats is especially pertinent in data center communications where minimizing cost, latency and complexity is paramount. This however implies that the same extent of digital signal processing techniques commonly used in coherent detection for the management of fiber impairments including chromatic dispersion are not available.
