Hybrid Free-space-optics and Millimetre-wave D-band Trans-mitter enabled by Optically Harmonically Locked Lasers

We demonstrated hybrid free-space optics (FSO) and D-band (110-170GHz) millimetre wave transmitter enabled by a single phase-locked laser pair, simultaneously enabling ultra-low RF phase noise and optical linewidth for communications. Based on this, we further study combined capacity with beam angle misalignment using >100Gb/s signalling.

Synchronous Clock and RF Carrier Transmission for Radio Access Network Fronthaul

We simultaneously achieve clock synchronisation, clock-synchronised data transmission and ultra-low noise RF carrier generation by combining clock phase caching and frequency comb transmission in radio access networks (RAN). We demonstrate <100fs jitter for 25GHz RF carrier and 2.5GHz clock, and 16-hour 6.6ps RMS wander.
