Summary
Abstract
Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) provide compelling advantages for microwave photonic systems, including low loss, compact footprint, and high integration density, making them well-suited for next-generation microwave subsystems and systems. This talk will highlight recent advances in integrated microwave photonic systems enabled by PICs, with applications including true time delay networks for wideband beamforming, optoelectronic oscillators for low-phase-noise, high-frequency microwave generation, programmable signal processors for versatile photonic signal processing, and high-sensitivity optical sensors.
