    摘要: In a radio frequency (RF)-photonic arbitrary waveform generator (AWG), an optical carrier signal is phase-modulated using an arbitrary waveform optical phase generator (AWPOG), which may include, e.g., sequential optical phase modulators. The phase-modulated optical signal is combined with a version of the optical carrier signal to yield an optical waveform, whose amplitude varies with a phase shift introduced by the AWPOG to the optical carrier signal. By manipulating electrical inputs to the AWPOG which control the phase shift, the optical waveform can be arbitrary shaped. The optical waveform may then be converted to an electrical waveform having a radio frequency.

    摘要: A receiver for coherent detection of a PSK modulated optical carrier includes an optical detector, digital-to-analog converters, and a digital module. The optical detector is configured to mix the modulated optical carrier with two phase components of a reference optical carrier and to produce analog output signals representative of optical signals produced by said mixing. The digital-to-analog converters are connected to receive the analog output signals and to produce digital signals from the received analog output signals. The digital module is connected to receive the digital signals and to perform one of compensating the received digital signals for a conjugate phase misalignment between the mixed components, extracting phase of the received digital signals, and estimating a frequency offset between the two carriers from the received digital signals.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a bipolar transistor includes forming collector, base, and emitter semiconductor layers on a substrate such that the layers form a vertical sequence with respect to an adjacent surface of the substrate. The method includes etching away a portion of a top one of the semiconductor layers to expose a portion of the base semiconductor layer and then, growing semiconductor on the exposed portion of the base layer. The top one of the semiconductor layers is the layer of the sequence that is located farthest from the substrate. The growing causes grown semiconductor to laterally surround a vertical portion of the top one of the semiconductor layers.
