The recent emergence of efficient O-band amplification technologies has enabled the consideration of O-band transmission beyond short reach. Despite the O-band being a low chromatic dispersion (CD) window, the impact of CD will become increasingly significant when extending the reach of direct-detection (DD) systems. In this work, we first numerically investigate the 3-dB bandwidth of single-mode fibers (SMF) and the CD-restricted transmission reach in intensity-modulation DD systems, confirming the significant difference between low- and high-dispersion O-band wavelengths. We then carry out experimental transmission studies over SMF for distances of up to 70 km at two different wavelengths, the low-dispersion 1320 nm and the more dispersive 1360 nm, enabled by the use of an O-band bismuth-doped fiber amplifier as a preamplifier at the receiver. We compare three 50-Gb/s optical DD formats, namely, Nyquist on-off keying (OOK), Nyquist 4-ary pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) and Kramers-Kronig detection-assisted single-sideband quadrature phase shift keying (KK-QPSK) half-cycle subcarrier modulation. Our results show that at both wavelengths, OOK and QPSK exhibit better bit error rate performance than PAM4. When transmitting over 70-km of SMF at the less dispersive wavelength of 1320 nm, 50-Gb/s OOK modulation offers more than 1.5-dB optical power sensitivity improvement at the photodiode (PD) compared to 50-Gb/s QPSK. Conversely, at 1360 nm, the required optical power to the PD can be reduced by more than 3 dB by using QPSK instead of OOK.

Lead halide perovskites have garnered interest in light-emitting diode (LED) applications due to their strong emission and tunable properties. However, conventional synthesis methods involve energy-intensive thermal processes and hazardous organic solvents, raising environmental concerns. In this study, we report a simple and eco-friendly mechanochemical approach that produces phase-pure blue-emitting CsCuI (emission at 440 nm) and yellow-emitting CsCuI (emission at 570 nm) phosphors through polarity modulation and control of grinding duration.

However, despite progress with numerical simulations and parameter scanning, the engineering complexity of classical methods highlights the urgent need for efficient deep learning approaches. This paper introduces a deep learning-driven inverse design model for polarization-multiplexed metalenses, employing propagation phase theory alongside spectral transfer learning to address chromatic dispersion challenges.

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.

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.
