Abstract: Hybrid silicon lasers and amplifiers having resonator cavities within a silicon substrate and a two-dimensional material film on the substrate as an optical gain medium are described. The two-dimensional material film may be formed of one or more atomic layers of phosphorene (BP). The number of phosphorene layers may be adjusted to tune the emission wavelength of the hybrid devices.

Abstract: a method whereby a linearization training sequence is designed to be transmitted by means of a radiofrequency transmitter incorporated in a mobile terminal or a base station of a radiocommunication system comprising a fixed network. The sequence is adapted for transmitting bursts in accordance with a specific frame structure. Besides, the sequence is included in a sequence of symbols further designed to enable the transmission chain parameters to be adjusted.

Abstract: There is disclosed a linearization training sequence that is transmitted by means of a radio frequency transmitter which is comprised in a mobile terminal or a base station of a radiocommunication system and transmits bursts according to a given frame structure. The sequence comprises a given number N of symbols which are part of an alphabet of symbols, N being an integer. At least one given number N1 of symbols of the sequence that is transmitted first is part of a sub-alphabet of symbols, which is contained in the alphabet of symbols, N1 being an integer that is smaller than or equal to N. The sub-alphabet of symbols consists of individual or a combination of symbols that provide the burst within which the sequence is transmitted with a narrower spectrum than the alphabet of symbols as a whole.

Abstract: An amplitude- and frequency- or phase-modulated radio frequency signal generator that is used for radio emission, generates a phase or frequency control signal and an amplitude control signal from a phase or frequency modulation signal and from an amplitude modulation signal respectively. The generator comprises a phase or frequency modulator and a variable-gain radio frequency power amplifier. The amplitude of the output signal is automatically controlled. In addition, adaptive pre-distortion is carried out in order to pre-distort the phase or frequency control signal in accordance with the amplitude modulation signal during a permanent operating phase. During a learning phase, a pre-distortion module is adapted from the amplitude modulation signal and from the amplitude control signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to an amplitude- and frequency- or phase-modulated radio frequency signal generator (G) that is used for radio emission, comprising: means for generating (GEN) a phase or frequency control signal (D) and an amplitude control signal (F) from a phase or frequency modulation signal (B) and an amplitude modulation signal (C); phase or frequency modulation means (MOD); and a variable-gain radio frequency power amplifier (PA). Said generation means (GEN) comprise means for automatically controlling the amplitude of the output signal (G), and, in addition, adaptive pre-distortion means (40) which are arranged in order to pre-distort the phase or frequency control signal (D) in accordance with the amplitude modulation signal (C) during a permanent operating phase and, during a learning phase, to be adapted from the amplitude modulation signal (C) and from the amplitude control signal (F).
