Article Abstract
This paper proposes a method for designing a dual-band low-noise amplifier (DB-LNA) using a new improved complex impedance dual-band transformer (IDBT). This complex IDBT is composed of parallel-coupled lines and two sections of series microstrip lines. The parallel-coupled lines are used to complete the transformation from complex impedances at two different frequencies to a pair of conjugate complex impedances, meanwhile eliminating the need for DC blocking capacitors. The transformation to real impedances is achieved by series microstrip lines at dual frequency points. A single-stage DB-LNA was designed using the BFP840ESD transistor in combination with the proposed IDBT. The fabrication and testing of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) were then completed. The measured results of the proposed 2.4/5.5 GHz DB-LNA show an S21 parameter of 20.3/14.7 dB, an S11 of -29.8/-20.3 dB, an S22 of -15.2/-16.4 dB, and a noise figure (NF) of 1.6/1.6 dB. The whole DB-LNA has a simple structure, low cost, and excellent performance and is easy to tune.

Microwave photonics, with its advanced high-frequency signal processing capabilities, is expected to play a crucial role in next-generation wireless communications and radar systems. The realization of highly integrated, high-performance, and multifunctional microwave photonic links will pave the way for its widespread deployment in practical applications, which is a significant challenge. Here, leveraging thin-film lithium niobate intensity modulator and programmable cascaded microring resonators, we demonstrate a tunable microwave photonic notch filter that simultaneously achieves high level of integration along with high dynamic range, high link gain, low noise figure, and ultra-high rejection ratio.

Quantum key distribution (QKD) aims to generate secure private keys shared by two remote parties. With its security being protected by principles of quantum mechanics, some technology challenges remain towards practical application of QKD. The major one is the distance limit, which is caused by the fact that a quantum signal cannot be amplified while the channel loss is exponential with the distance for photon transmission in optical fiber.

With the increasing demand for detection accuracy and sensitivity, dual-band polarimetric image sensor has attracted considerable attention due to better object recognition by processing signals from diverse wavebands. However, the widespread use of polarimetric sensors is still limited by high noise, narrow photoresponse range, and low linearly dichroic ratio. Recently, the low-dimensional materials with intrinsic in-plane anisotropy structure exhibit the great potential to realize direct polarized photodetection.

Covering a significant part of near- and mid-infrared spectral ranges, supercontinuum radiation opened up unique possibilities and alternatives for the well-established imaging technique of optical coherence tomography (OCT). In this contribution, we demonstrate the development, performance, and maturity of a cost-efficient dual-band Fourier-domain IR OCT system (2 µm and 4 µm central wavelengths).
