Microwave photonics
Microwave photonics, an interdisciplinary field that combines microwave engineering and photonic technology for the generation, transmission, processing, and control of microwave signals, to take advantage of the broad bandwidth, high frequency, and low loss offered by modern photonics, has been intensively researched for the last few decades, and numerous solutions have been proposed and demonstrated. In this article, an overview about microwave photonics is provided which covers the basic concepts of microwave photonics, photonic-assisted microwave signal generation, photonic-assisted microwave signal processing, and true time delay beamforming. The implementation of microwave photonic systems based on photonic integrated circuits is also reviewed, including the design, fabrication, and material platforms, application-specific photonic integrated circuits for microwave photonics, and programmable integrated microwave photonics. The challenges and future applications of microwave photonics are also discussed.

Recent progress of integrated circuits and optoelectronic chips
Integrated circuits (ICs) and optoelectronic chips are the foundation stones of the modern information society. The IC industry has been driven by the so-called “Moore’s law” in the past 60 years, and now has entered the post Moore’s law era. In this paper, we review the recent progress of ICs and optoelectronic chips. The research status, technical challenges and development trend of devices, chips and integrated technologies of typical IC and optoelectronic chips are focused on. The main contents include the development law of IC and optoelectronic chip technology, the IC design and processing technology, emerging memory and chip architecture, brain-like chip structure and its mechanism, heterogeneous integration, quantum chip technology, silicon photonics chip technology, integrated microwave photonic chip, and optoelectronic hybrid integrated chip.

Processing Accuracy of Microcomb-Based Microwave Photonic Signal Processors for Different Input Signal Waveforms
Microwave photonic (MWP) signal processors, which process microwave signals based on photonic technologies, bring advantages intrinsic to photonics such as low loss, large processing bandwidth, and strong immunity to electromagnetic interference. Optical microcombs can offer a large number of wavelength channels and compact device footprints, which make them powerful multi-wavelength sources for MWP signal processors to realize a variety of processing functions. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate the capability of microcomb-based MWP signal processors to handle diverse input signal waveforms. In addition, we quantify the processing accuracy for different input signal waveforms, including Gaussian, triangle, parabolic, super Gaussian, and nearly square waveforms. Finally, we analyse the factors contributing to the difference in the processing accuracy among the different input waveforms, and our theoretical analysis well elucidates the experimental results. These results provide guidance for microcomb-based MWP signal processors when processing microwave signals of various waveforms.

On Behavior of Sampled Signal when Value of Sampling Period Tends to Zero and Analog-to-Digital Conversion in Microwave Photonic Systems
In this paper, we compare behaviors of two possible descriptions of the sampled signal in the case when the sampling period tends to zero, but remains all the time greater than zero. Note that this is the case we are dealing with in analog-to-digital conversion in microwave photonic systems. From this comparison, it follows that the description with the weighted step function is superior to the description with the weighted Dirac comb. A couple of useful comments and remarks associated with the results presented are also provided in the context of microwave photonic systems.

Application of Microwave Photonic Methods in the Design of Microwave Receiving Devices for the Formation and Registration of Radio Holograms
A scheme for implementing a microwave photonics device for receiving microwave signals for the formation and registration of radio holograms was proposed. The operation of such a receiving device was studied numerically and experimentally. A data processing method was proposed to reduce the error in determining the angle of arrival of a signal in the case of sphericity of the reflected wave at an insufficient distance of the receiver from the object.

Microwave Photonic Filters and Applications
Microwave photonics is a promising and rapidly developing interdisciplinary field. It combines microwave and photonic techniques to generate, transmit, process, and manipulate microwave signals by using the advantages of broadband, high frequency, and low loss provided by photonics. As an important branch of microwave photonics, the microwave photonic filter (MPF) can overcome the limitations set by traditional electronic technology and can realize advanced signal processing in modern communication systems due to its higher performance, selectivity, and flexibility. This review provides a comprehensive overview of MPFs, including fundamental principles, typical structures, and key applications. Additionally, the microwave photonic integration is a very important tendence because of its advantages of small size, light weight, low power consumption, and low cost. The recent advances in integrated MPF are also reviewed.

Recent Trends and Advances of Silicon-Based Integrated Microwave Photonics
Multitude applications of photonic devices and technologies for the generation and manipulation of arbitrary and random microwave waveforms, at unprecedented processing speeds, have been proposed in the literature over the past three decades. This class of photonic applications for microwave engineering is known as microwave photonics (MWP). The vast capabilities of MWP have allowed the realization of key functionalities which are either highly complex or simply not possible in the microwave domain alone. Recently, this growing field has adopted the integrated photonics technologies to develop microwave photonic systems with enhanced robustness as well as with a significant reduction of size, cost, weight, and power consumption. In particular, silicon photonics technology is of great interest for this aim as it offers outstanding possibilities for integration of highly-complex active and passive photonic devices, permitting monolithic integration of MWP with high-speed silicon electronics. In this article, we present a review of recent work on MWP functions developed on the silicon platform. We particularly focus on newly reported designs for signal modulation, arbitrary waveform generation, filtering, true-time delay, phase shifting, beam steering, and frequency measurement.
