The modulation bandwidth of a light-emitting diode is inversely proportional to the carrier lifetime, which changes with varying injected current. However, in conventional implementations of visible light communications, the influence of bias current is always emphasized, while the effects of modulation indices and signal components are ignored. In this Letter, it is the first time, to the best of our knowledge, that the mechanism on how modulated signal components impact modulation bandwidth is clarified. We reveal and interpret this impact by featuring the response at different modulation indices and intensity distributions mathematically and experimentally, proposing a series of theoretical approaches for the insight of modulation at a high index. This Letter donates a novel perspective on deciding appropriate configurations for modulators according to the modulation characteristics at a high index of the input signal.

With the rapid advancement of information technology, the data demands in transmission rates, processing speed, and storage capacity have been increasing significantly. However, silicon electro-optic modulators, characterized by their weak electro-optic effect, struggle to balance modulation efficiency and bandwidth. To overcome this limitation, we propose an electro-optic modulator based on an all-fiber micro-ring resonator and a p-Si/n-ITO heterojunction, achieving high modulation efficiency and large bandwidth.

We propose and validate a novel optical semantic transmission scheme using multimode fiber (MMF). By leveraging the frequency sensitivity of intermodal dispersion in MMFs, we achieve high-dimensional semantic encoding and decoding in the frequency domain. Our system maps symbols to 128 distinct frequencies spaced at 600 kHz intervals, demonstrating a seven-fold increase in capacity compared to conventional communication encoding.

In this manuscript, an all-optical modulation photodetector based on a CdS/graphene/Ge sandwich structure is designed. In the presence of the modulation (near-infrared) light, the Fermi level of the graphene channel shifts, allowing for the tuning of the visible light response speed as well as achieving a broad responsivity range from negative (-3376 A/W) to positive (3584 A/W) response. Based on this, logical operations are performed by adjusting the power of the modulation light superimposed with the signal light.

MnO octahedra without distortions in α-MnO have a low dipole content, which limits their dielectric loss capabilities. Herein, we develop protonated MnO with distorted MnO octahedra for increased dipole numbers a two-step hydrothermal method. In comparison with α-MnO, this protonated MnO provides greatly improved dipole polarization loss capabilities, resulting in a reflection loss value of -19.
