Emerging applications of integrated optical microcombs for analogue RF and microwave photonic signal processing
We review new applications of integrated microcombs in RF and microwave
photonic systems. We demonstrate a wide range of powerful functions including a
photonic intensity high order and fractional differentiators, optical true time
delays, advanced filters, RF channelizer and other functions, based on a Kerr
optical comb generated by a compact integrated microring resonator, or
microcomb. The microcomb is CMOS compatible and contains a large number of comb
lines, which can serve as a high performance multiwavelength source for the
transversal filter, thus greatly reduce the cost, size, and complexity of the
system. The operation principle of these functions is theoretically analyzed,
and experimental demonstrations are presented.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures, 136 References. Photonics West 2018 invited

Optical wireless communication systems
The emerging field of optical wireless communication (OWC) systems is seen as potential complementary technology to the radio frequency wireless communications in certain applications. It is deemed as a possible technology in the future 5th Generation communication networks to address the spectrum congestion and improve the system's capacity. More research and developments in OWC is still needed in order for it to be adopted in current and future communication systems. This special issue brings together research papers on OWC covering free space optic, visible communications and ultraviolet communications
Energy Harvesting Wireless Communications: A Review of Recent Advances
This article summarizes recent contributions in the broad area of energy
harvesting wireless communications. In particular, we provide the current state
of the art for wireless networks composed of energy harvesting nodes, starting
from the information-theoretic performance limits to transmission scheduling
policies and resource allocation, medium access and networking issues. The
emerging related area of energy transfer for self-sustaining energy harvesting
wireless networks is considered in detail covering both energy cooperation
aspects and simultaneous energy and information transfer. Various potential
models with energy harvesting nodes at different network scales are reviewed as
well as models for energy consumption at the nodes.Comment: To appear in the IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communications
