Photonic-crystal microresonator-based LiDAR engine

Kenji Nishimoto, Alexander E. Ulanov, Thibault Wildi +1

Self-injection-locked (SIL) narrow-linewidth lasers based on high-Q microresonators are promising sources for frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) LiDAR, but the SIL mechanis…

Beyond 350 GHz: Single-channel 112 Gbps photonic wireless transmission at 560 GHz using soliton microcombs

Yu Tokizane, Hiroki Kishikawa, Takumi Kikuhara +11

Sixth-generation (6G) back-haul links will require terahertz (THz) carriers above 350 GHz to escape the congested 300 GHz band and support >100 Gbps data rates. Photonic THz transm…
