Article Abstract
We present a tunable wideband microwave photonic (MWP) processor that simultaneously enables precise phase shifting and true-time delay (TTD) control. The core of this device is a compact phase-shifted waveguide Bragg grating (PS-WBG) integrated into a silicon photonic (SiPh) platform. The system uses a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) to generate an optical single-sideband modulated signal from a continuous-wave laser source. The modulated signal is processed through a PS-WBG that provides optical bandpass filters with a nearly rectangular transmission spectrum and sharp phase shifts. Our design offers a dynamically adjustable phase shift of up to 600° with minimal RF power variation of 2 dB over a broad 33 GHz (12-45 GHz) bandwidth. Additionally, it provides a highly stable delay of up to 196 picoseconds (ps) across an 8.5 GHz instantaneous bandwidth. Theoretical analysis and simulation results confirm the tunability and wideband operation of the proposed MWP system.

Optically pumped polymer nanolasers drive the development of integrated optoelectronic devices. Introduction of surface plasmon into nanolasers can effectively enhance the local electromagnetic field in the optical pumping processes. However, significant quenching effects on organic fluorescence emissions bring the challenge in high-efficient lasing from the distributed feedback (DFB) nano-device loaded with noble metal particles.

However, most existing MPFs provide only a single output port, limiting their applicability in scenarios requiring simultaneous multi-channel responses. Here, we demonstrate a dual-output integrated microwave photonic filter (IMPF) on the thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform, integrating a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), an add-drop microring resonator (MRR), and a notch MRR.

The increasing global concern over low-frequency noise pollution necessitates innovative solutions capable of effective acoustic attenuation across varying environments. However, conventional acoustic metamaterials, characterized by fixed geometries, typically provide limited flexibility in adjusting the functional frequency range once constructed. This study revisited the classic acoustic metamaterial configurations and proposed two novel tunable acoustic absorbing structures through a strategic integration with high-performance photo-active polymer actuators.

Cd-based perovskite materials have the advantages of high emission efficiency and tunable emission, as well as broad application prospects in the field of optoelectronics. However, achieving multimode dynamic luminescence under UV light excitation in a single system is a great challenge. Here, we successfully prepared Sb/Pb co-doped CsCdBr crystals by a simple hydrothermal method.

To solve the problems of single absorption function and the complex structure of terahertz absorbers, this study proposes a terahertz (THz) absorber based on vanadium dioxide (VO) driven by electric dipole resonance, which can achieve wideband and narrowband absorption conversion. Simulation results indicate that in the narrowband absorption mode, two narrowband absorption peaks were observed at 14.6 THz and 16.
