Article Abstract
We present and demonstrate an integrated approach to make low-cost high-speed half-duplex optical transceiver with rapid reconfigurability. A single Distributed-Feedback (DFB) diode is employed as the unified E/O-O/E device, which is dynamically biased as laser or photodetector in transmitter or receiver mode. The bias for the DFB and the transmit/receive (T/R) signal path are provided by a custom-designed reconfigurable CMOS chip, which contains the biasing circuitry, a high-speed T/R switch and a burst-mode transimpedance amplifier (BM-TIA). The transceiver front-end operates up to 5 Gb/s for both transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) mode experimentally, while its reconfiguration time is less than 131 ns. This integrated approach not only halves the transceiver optics to facilitate low cost, but also enables high-speed signal transmission as well as rapid reconfiguration, which will be critical for the fiber-to-everything paradigm shift in the near future.

Quantum imaging, operating at extremely low photon flux and accommodating nondegenerate imaging wavelengths, offers a unique approach for imaging light-sensitive structures. Conventional quantum imaging systems often require costly intensified charge-coupled devices together with complex delay line and triggering electronics, limiting broader applications. In this work, we propose an approach for quantum imaging that uses a simple rotating mask coded with cyclic Hadamard patterns, together with single-pixel detectors, eliminating the need for the abovementioned specialized devices.

The quantum random number generator (QRNG) operates based on fundamental quantum mechanical principles to produce high-quality random numbers. Recently, chip-based QRNGs have garnered significant attention due to their compact size, low cost, and reduced power consumption. In this work, we demonstrate a hybrid integrated QRNG leveraging continuous-wave (CW) laser phase fluctuations.

Volterra Nonlinear Equalization (VNLE) can mitigate these impairments but suffers from higher computational complexity, rendering it impractical for energy-efficient and low-cost data center applications. We propose a Hybrid Pruned VNLE (HP-VNLE) that combines structured and unstructured kernel reduction to significantly reduce complexity while maintaining low bit error rate (BER) performance.

However, practical implementation remains challenging with channel impairments caused by transmission mechanisms, particularly mode coupling (MC) and differential mode group delay (DMGD), as well as receiver hardware impairments (RHI) originating from imperfect coherent receivers, including IQ skew, IQ amplitude imbalance, and IQ phase imbalance. To address these challenges, this paper, for the first time, proposes a recombinant real-Björck sequences assisted frequency-domain multiple input multiple output (RRB-FD-MIMO) scheme to achieve the joint equalization of MC, DMGD and RHI .

This method offers advantages such as low cost, high sensitivity, and suitability for imaging in low-light environments and specialized wavebands. However, SPI inherently suffers from a limitation in imaging speed due to the need to acquire intensity fluctuation signals under a large number of spatially modulated patterns.
