چکیده
We present a set of techniques and materials we are currently developing which enable very broadband and highly effective optical devices in the spectral region from 20 GHz to 20 THz. Many of these devices have already been employed in terrestrial, airborne and space based telescope systems.

Fixed and Mobile Broadband Wireless Access Networks Employing Optically Beam-formed Antennas
Broadband wireless access networks that operate in the millimetre-wave frequency band are envisaged to fulfil the bandwidth requirements of broadband multimedia services. At these frequencies, temporary obstacles and adverse meteorological conditions may drastically impair on the system performance by intercepting the required line-of-sight radio wave propagation, which results in degrading the...
متن کامل60 GHz-MILLIMETRE-WAVE GENERATION AND BEAM-FORMING INHYBRID-FIBRE-RADIO SYSTEMS FOR BROADBAND-WIRELESS ACCESS
We present a novel architecture for broadband mobile indoor communication systems applying hybrid-fibreradio technology. One issue is the centralized optical generation of millimetre-wave signals which can be distributed easily to several base stations via optical fibres. Key device is a self-pulsating laser designed for 60 GHz operation. It is remotely stabilized by an optical sub-harmonic 10 ...
متن کاملEffect of Nonlinear Phase Variation in Optical Millimetre Wave Radio over Fibre Systems
In this paper, we propose an optical millimetre wave radio-over-fibre (mm-wave RoF) system that uses a dual drive Mach Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM), which is biased at the maximum transmission biasing point, to generate an optical double sideband-suppressed carrier. The input to the DD-MZM are binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 8-phase shift keying (8-PSK) and...
متن کاملPlasmonic Micro Lens for Extraordinary Transmission of Broadband Light
Extraordinary transmittance and focusing of light in quasi far field region using miniaturized optical devices is a daunting task. A polarization independent, broadband, planar metallic transmissive micro aperture capable of achromatically focusing visible light in quasi far field region is proposed. The calculated enhancement factor of transmission efficiency was about ~2.2. The total transmis...
متن کاملGrating-assisted coupling to nanophotonic circuits in microcrystalline diamond thin films
Synthetic diamond films can be prepared on a waferscale by using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) on suitable substrates such as silicon or silicon dioxide. While such films find a wealth of applications in thermal management, in X-ray and terahertz window design, and in gyrotron tubes and microwave transmission lines, their use for nanoscale optical components remains largely unexplored. Here ...
