Description:
Photonic generation and transmission of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signals has attracted strong interest for future fiber-wireless integrated optical access networks, such as 5G and beyond for IoT-oriented ubiquitous connectivity and smart mobility. NRC has recently demonstrated InAs/InP quantum-dot multi-wavelength lasers (QD-MWLs), which allows for a development of heterogeneously integrated mm-wave photonic front-haul systems, thus creating unique broadband and high-speed wireline-wireless interfaces. The Polytechnique Montreal team will work on the mm-wave antennas for interface-related signal transmission and reception in the proposed fiber-wireless integrated front-haul with focus on three objectives. First, Polytechnique Montreal will explore broadband and dual-band antennas compatible with high-permittivity semiconductors and electro-optical devices will be investigated and developed. Then they will study and design dual-band integrated antenna arrays for photonic integration. Finally, the team will explore and demonstrate beam-diversified antenna arrays with photonic generation, wireless transmission, and coherent detection of mobile signals.
