This paper presents an overview on new progresses of millimeter wave (mm-wave) radio-overfiber (RoF) system based on mm-wave generation by optical frequency multiplication (OFM), including generation of high-order optical side modes by optical modulation using dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) and enhancement This paper presents an overview on new progresses of millimeter wave (mm-wave) radio-overfiber (RoF) system based on mm-wave generation by optical frequency multiplication (OFM), including generation of high-order optical side modes by optical modulation using dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) and enhancement of high-order optical side mode induced by selective amplification due to stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). The paper describes OFM by using DD-MZM in principle and verifies it in an experimental bidirectional 40 GHz RoF system. SBS amplification enhances the generated information-bearing mm-wave in downlink and also helps in producing a pure reference mm-wave for radio frequency-intermediate frequency (RF-IF) down-conversion in uplink. These efforts pushed the OFM technology of mm-RoF systems to achieve more and more feasibility and costeffectiveness..

Mzee S. MNDEWA, Xiuhua YUAN, and Dexiu HUANG
Technological improvements in free space optical communication systems have reduced the cost and alternatives to fiber optic transmission.

The advantages of the free space optical link over fiber optic cabling are primarily economic. In line with the demand for gigabyte link from 10 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s in the market, the uses of free space optical communication systems have increased exponentially from 1995 to 2008. However, free space optics is subject to atmospheric effects such as attenuation and scintillation which can reduce link availability and may introduce errors not seen in fiber transmission. In this paper we argue that optical wireless communication is an alternative to fiber optic transmission in short and medium range wireless communications and we discuss that the liability and availability of the free space optical link is mainly determined by the local atmospheric condition, this is to say that the transmission quality may be affected by weather conditions. For the evaluation we constructed an experimental communication network with a free space system. One way to characterize the strength of the turbulence fluctuation is by examining the Rytov variance for a plane wave. This Rytov variance physically represents the intensity fluctuation induced by atmospheric turbulence..

The propagation properties and kurtosis parametric characteristic of the beams in the FRFT plane are analyzed in detail. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the analytical results. The influences of the fractional order on the intensity distribution and the kurtosis parameter of the beams are also investigated. The results show that the intensity distribution and the kurtosis parameter of the beams in the FRFT plane are closely related to the fractional order and beam parameters..

The structure is based on a recirculating delay line (RDL) loop consisting of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) followed by a tunable narrowband optical filter and a 10∶90 coupler. The converted signal is generated in a wavelength conversion process based on cross-gain modulation of amplified spontaneous emission in the SOA. The converted signal circulating in RDL loop realizes a negative bandpass response. The negative bandpass filter and a broadband allpass filter are synthesized to achieve a notch filter with flat passband which can excise interference with minimal impact on the wanted signal..

It can be used to detect camouflaged targets and distinguish targets with the same reflectivity, which cannot be realized using the traditional imaging method. Based on the dual-rotation retardLaser polarimetric imaging can offer additional information of targets compared with the traditional intensity imaging method. It can be used to detect camouflaged targets and distinguish targets with the same reflectivity, which cannot be realized using the traditional imaging method. Based on the dual-rotation retarder technique, we have established a setup to acquire different polarization state images. The polarization degree of the target can be calculated and encoded to get the polarization degree image. Preliminary results and error analysis have been given to validate the system. The results show that the system has rational arrangement and can realize the function of target detection and discrimination. Also, the polarization degree change and spectrum changes have little influence on the system..

Single walled-carbon nanotube (SWCNT) thin film is one of the candidates for the next-generation flexible and transparent conductive thin film, which is a crucial component in various applications such as electrodes of flat-panel displays, solar cells, light emitting diodes, and touch panels. An intensive research workSingle walled-carbon nanotube (SWCNT) thin film is one of the candidates for the next-generation flexible and transparent conductive thin film, which is a crucial component in various applications such as electrodes of flat-panel displays, solar cells, light emitting diodes, and touch panels. An intensive research work is underway to develop thin and flexible SWCNT films. The most important requirement of an SWCNT thin film is that it should show a low sheet resistance coupled with a high transparency. In this work, thin films of SWCNTs are prepared by vacuum filtration. The electrical properties of the as-prepared, annealed and HNO3-treated SWCNT films have been investigated. It is found that the square resistance can be significantly changed upon anneal and HNO3-treatment. A room-temperature ethanol alcohol sensor based on the SWCNT film has also been demonstrated..

However, this article proposed several novel structures obtained from mapping along multidirection, all of above designs are based on coordinate transformation theory. Those structures include “rotational cloak”, “rotational concentrator”, and so on, which are different from traditional structures. This paper discusses the optical properties of these novel structures; moreover, we have investigated the effects of various parameters on their properties, such as virtual radius and initial angle. Also, some interesting conclusions are drawn: 1) the energy convergent capability increases with virtual radius; 2) rotational angle of power flow direction depends on the value of initial angle and the location of optical source; 3) the permittivity and permeability of transformed material may be negative when virtual radius a greater than outer radius b, it is our well-known left-handed material..

Its ease in processing is highly desirable from the manufacturing point of view. In this paper, we shall describe the synthesis of a range of bipolar small molecules and conductive vinyl polymers for application in homojunction and heterojunction organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The bipolar materials, in general, consist of three basic building blocks: an arylamine, a 1,3,4-oxadiazole, and a polycyclic aromatic moiety. The achievement of charge balance can be validated either by direct measurement of electron/hole mobility or indirectly via optimization of device properties. A series of conductive vinyl copolymers containing hole transporting N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-(4-vinylphenyl) naphthalen-1-amine (4MeONPA) and electron transporting 2-phenyl-5-(4-vinylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (OXA) at different compositions was applied for heterojunction and homojunction OLEDs. For heterojunction devices employed the copolymers as the hole transporting layer and Alq3 as the electron transporting and emitting layer, a maximum luminance and current efficiency of over 23000 cd/m2 and 4.2 cd/A (PL of Alq3), respectively, were achieved at the charge balance composition. Homojunction devices for the copolymers were demonstrated by the addition of rubrene as a dopant. The single layer devices at the optimal copolymer composition has ca 1500 cd/m2 and 0.74 cd/A..

The photodetector exhibits a cutoff wavelength at around 460 nm which is close to its electroluminescence (EL) peak position. TIn this study, we fabricated and characterized an InGaN/GaN multi-quantum-well (MQW)-based p-n junction photodetector (PD) for voltage-selective lightemitting and photo-detective applications. The photodetector exhibits a cutoff wavelength at around 460 nm which is close to its electroluminescence (EL) peak position. The rejection ratio was determined to be more than three orders of magnitude. Under zero bias, the responsivity of the device peaks at 371 nm, with a value of 0.068 A/W, corresponding to a 23% quantum efficiency. The overall responsivity gradually rises as a function of reverse bias, which is explained by the enhanced photocarrier collection efficiency..
