The generation of a 40-Gb/s 16-QAM radio-over-fiber (RoF) signal and its demodulation of the wireless signal transmitted over free space of 30 mm in W-band (75-110 GHz) is demonstrated. The 16-QAM signal is generated by a coherent polarization synthesis method using a dual-polarization QPSK modulator. A combination of the simple RoF generation and the versatile digital receiver technique is suitable for the proposed coherent optical/wireless seamless network.

W-band (75-110 GHz) is a potential radio frequency band to provide long-distance wireless links for mobile data transmission. This paper proposes and experimentally demonstrates high-speed wireless transmission at W-band using photonics-aided method, including optical heterodyne, photonics-aided down-conversion without RF oscillator and coherent detection. A comparison between the photonics-aided method and the conventional electronic method employing solid-state electronic devices is conducted for the first time.

Article Synopsis
- Maintaining transparent surfaces on protective covers with transparent heaters is crucial for safety in self-driving cars, especially in extreme weather conditions.
- Achieving both high light transmission and low electrical resistance in these heaters is a significant challenge, but metamaterial design offers a solution.
- The developed heaters are ultra-thin, microwave-transparent, and can heat up to 180°C quickly, effectively removing thin ice layers in freezing temperatures.
Wireless data traffic is expected to exponentially increase in the future, and meeting this demand will require high data rate photonic-wireless links operating in the W-band (75-110 GHz). For this purpose, pulse-amplitude-modulation with four levels (PAM-4)-based intensity modulation and direct detection (IM-DD) photonic-wireless systems are preferred due to their simplified configuration. In this Letter, we present an experimental demonstration of an IM-DD PAM-4 photonic-wireless link in the W-band, leveraging a monolithic dual-laser photonic chip to enhance integration.

Although various bioinspired devices designed to increase absorption and minimize reflection have been developed, there is no research focusing on wideband electromagnetic (EM) absorbers at 75-110 GHz, which is not conducive to the advancement of millimeter wave technology. Herein, inspired by the ultrablack butterfly scale nanostructure, an innovative flexible multistage honeycomb structure absorber (FMHSA) of carbonyl iron (CIP)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/flexible photopolymer resin (FPR) composite is successfully prepared by digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. FMHSA exhibits excellent EM wave absorption performance with full band absorption at 75-110 GHz under different bending states.

With the aid of the bandpass delta-sigma modulation, our proposed scheme is transparent to the modulation format of the dual-vector RF signals and can support the generation, wireless transmission, and detection of both single-carrier (SC) and orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (OFDM) vector RF signals with high-level quadrature-amplitude-modulation (QAM) modulation. With the aid of the heterodyne detection, our proposed scheme can support up to W-band (75-110 GHz) dual-vector RF signal generation and detection.
