  • Patent number: 11598917
    Abstract: A silicon nitride phased array chip based on a suspended waveguide structure, which includes a silicon nitride waveguide area and a suspended waveguide area. The silicon nitride waveguide area includes a silicon substrate, a silicon dioxide buffer layer, a silicon dioxide cladding layer and a silicon nitride waveguide-based core layer. The silicon nitride waveguide-based core layer includes an optical splitter unit, a first curved waveguide, a thermo-optic phase shifter and a spot-size converter. The suspended waveguide area includes a second curved waveguide and an array grating antenna.

  • Patent number: 10979143
    Abstract: A frequency chirp correction method for the photonic time-stretch system comprises acquiring the stretching signal, i.e. acquiring the time-domain data after the time-domain stretching. First, the time-domain data of the stretching signal is Fourier transformed to obtain the spectral distribution. The spectral distribution is then convoluted with the first frequency-domain correction factor, and then multiplied with the second frequency-domain correction factor to obtain the modified frequency spectrum. Finally, the modified frequency spectrum is performed by the inverse Fourier transform to obtain the time-domain signal after the frequency chirp correction.

  • Patent number: 10784967
    Abstract: A photonic radio-frequency receiver with mirror frequency suppression function, in which a single modulator is utilized to form a photoelectric oscillator so as to generate high-quality and low-phase-noise optically generated local oscillators, without the need for an external local oscillator source, and at the same time, another radio-frequency port is used as a radio-frequency signal input port, thereby allowing a compact structure. By properly setting a bias point for the two-electrode modulator and orthogonally synthesizing two branches of intermediate frequency signals respectively generated by the upper and lower sideband beat frequencies of the modulated optical signal, the photonic radio-frequency receiver realizes the functions of receiving radio-frequency signals and suppressing mirror frequency signals. The present disclosure can realize a photonic mirror-frequency suppression receiver.
