We developed a technique allowing the direct observation of photoinduced charge-transfer states (CTSs)-the weakly coupled electron-hole pairs preceding the completely separated charges in organic photovoltaic (OPV) blends. Quadrature detection of the electron spin echo (ESE) signal enables the observation of an out-of-phase ESE signal of CTS. The out-of-phase Electron-Electron Double Resonance (ELDOR) allows measuring electron-hole distance distributions within CTS and its temporal evolution in the microsecond range.

In this Letter, a complex-valued double-sideband 16QAM (CV-DSB-16QAM) signaling scheme is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in a 100-Gb/s intensity modulation/direct detection (IM/DD) interconnection system. Unlike the conventional real-valued double-sideband (DSB) quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) of relatively lower spectral efficiency (SE) and single-sideband (SSB) QAM relying on sharp-edged optical filtering, the CV-DSB-16QAM signal is generated by combining two independent sideband modulated QPSK signals using a single intensity modulator with an optical filtering-free profile, which also saves one photodiode and one analog-to-digital-converter compared with the twin-SSB scheme. Compared to typical pulse amplitude modulation or SSB schemes, the proposed approach offers a compelling alternative for complex-valued DD systems' evolution, particularly in scenarios with high SE demands and controllable chromatic dispersion.

Article Synopsis
  • Terahertz communication technology using on-off keying (OOK) is crucial for sixth-generation systems, particularly for short-distance and high-speed data transmission.
  • Low-order OOK has limitations in interference resistance and demodulation, prompting the development of a high-order direct modulation framework with a wideband time-coding metachip modulator.
  • This system utilizes gallium arsenide Schottky diodes to precisely control terahertz harmonics, enabling advanced modulation schemes like quadrature phase-shift keying and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation for effective real-time image transmission.

Photonic analog-to-digital converters (PADCs) have been investigated for nearly five decades as a promising approach to overcome the bandwidth and jitter problem and bring ADC performance to new levels. However, low-amplitude signals often struggle to achieve full-scale quantization accuracy, posing a basic challenge for achieving high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) digitization. Here, we established an optical carrier-to-sideband ratio (OCSR) based sampler model to achieve the optimal combination of the modulation, loss compensation, and photoelectric detection processes.

Coherent reception, along with time- and wavelength-division multiplexing (TWDM), is a promising concept to simultaneously support multiple services in future high-speed point-to-multipoint passive optical networks (PONs). The next-generation PON 2 (NG-PON2) standard describes a TWDM-PON based on IM/DD intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) which employs tunable-lasers and optical filters such as tunable optical filters or cyclic arrayed-waveguide gratings. Here, we investigate what we believe to be a novel coherent TWDM-PON architecture based on a frequency comb source in the optical line terminal (OLT), and thermally-tuned distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers in the optical network units (ONUs).
