A novel approach for photonic generation of a frequency-quadrupled phase-coded signal using optical carrier shifting and balanced detection is proposed and demonstrated. The key component of the scheme is an integrated dual-polarization quadrature phase shift-keying (DP-QPSK) modulator. In the modulator, an RF signal is applied to the upper QPSK modulator to generate high-order optical sidebands, while an electrical coding signal is applied to the bottom QPSK modulator to perform optical carrier phase shifting. After that, a frequency-quadrupled phase-coded signal with an exact π-phase shift is generated through balanced detection. The proposed scheme has a simple, compact structure and good tunability. Besides, a phase-coded pulse can be directly obtained when a three-level rectangular coding signal is applied. A proof-of-concept experiment is carried out. The generation of a 2-Gbit/s phase-coded signal with a frequency tuning from 12.12 to 28 GHz is experimentally demonstrated, and the generation of a phase-coded microwave pulse is also verified.

An approach for generating phase-coded coherent microwave pulse trains at high frequencies is proposed and demonstrated based on an actively mode-locked optoelectronic parametric oscillator (AML-OEPO), where an electrical mixer is inserted into the cavity of an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) to achieve both mode locking and parameter oscillation. The driving signal applied to the mixer is a low-frequency sinusoidal signal with voltage polarity coding, where the frequency is the same as the free spectral range (FSR) of the OEO cavity, and the duration of each voltage polarity coding bit is identical to the loop delay. As a result, phase-coded coherent microwave pulse trains can be generated, where the pulse interval is equal to the loop delay due to the active mode locking effect, and the phase coding period is equal to a multiple integer of the loop delay due to parameter oscillation.

In order to understand how prefrontal cortex provides the benefits of working memory (WM) for visual processing we examined the influence of WM on the representation of visual signals in V4 neurons in two macaque monkeys. We found that WM induces strong β oscillations in V4 and that the timing of action potentials relative to this oscillation reflects sensory information- i.e.

A steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) system relies on the photic driving response to effectively elicit characteristic electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, traditional visual stimuli mainly adopt high-contrast black-and-white flickering stimulations, which are easy to cause visual fatigue. This paper presents an SSVEP dataset acquired at a wide frequency range from 1 to 60 Hz with an interval of 1 Hz using flickering stimuli under two different modulation depths.

Specifically, by utilizing the drawbacks of low Doppler tolerance in encoding signals, phase information can be obtained after pulse compression, and the mirror frequency introduced by real sampling can be negligible. Validation experiments based on inverse synthetic aperture lidar are performed, with the corresponding imaging results having a resolution superior to 4 cm, demonstrating our system's efficiency in phase acquisition that is free from frequency aliasing.
