Luis Vallejo, a PhD student from Instituto de Telecomunicaciones y Aplicaciones Multimedia, Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain), made his second stay in Czech Technical University in Prague (Czech Republic) from January until March 2021, under the supervision of Stanislav Zvanovec. During his STSM he worked on experimental implementation of full-duplex microwave photonics-based mmW signal generation and distribution in C-RAN, and experimental optimization of capacity in…
The last PhD and ECI meeting of the EUIMWP COST Action is planned to take place on September 21st, 2021. It will have to be virtual, unfortunately, since due to the COVID situation organising an in-person meeting would be too risky. Similarly to what has been done in the past meetings, participants are invited to very briefly present the topic of their research and then…
Dear EUIMWP participants, On behalf of the MC of the EUIMWP (CA 16220) COST Action, we are pleased to announce the Training School entitled “PICs for Quantum”, to be held online on the 8th of September 2021, 15:00h (CEST). Organized by LIGENTEC (Lausanne, Switzerland) within the framework of the EUIMWP Cost Action (European Network for High Performance Integrated Microwave Photonics), this 2-hour webinar will give…
The EUIMWP (CA 16220) COST Action (https://euimwp.eu/), Chaired by Prof. José Capmany in the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain), is in the middle-end of its third Grant Period, out of the five that will last in total. From the last newsletter (May 2018), the following activities have been performed:
The Training School “Photonic Integration for Aerospace, Satellite & Radar Technology” took place in France from Feb 3rd to 5th, 2020, in Paris and Palaiseau. Organised by Prof. Anne-Laure Billabert, Prof. Daniel Dolfi and Prof. Stavros Iezekiel, it was attended by 27 granted trainees, coming from 12 countries, plus 34 local students. Fifteen trainers participated, being 5 of them reimbursed by this COST Action. The…
Luis Vallejo, a PhD student from Instituto de Telecomunicaciones y Aplicaciones Multimedia, Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (Spain), made a stay in Czech Technical University in Prague (Czech Republic), under the supervision of Stanislav Zvanovec, aiming to advance method in microwave photonics, during 35 days. During his STSM he worked on photonically millimetre signal generation, signal transmission over hybrid fiber/free-space-optics (FSO) links considered as a promising…
Andrej Lavric, a PhD student from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Ljubljana (Slovenia) visited Photonic Networks & Technologies National Laboratory of CNIT in Pisa (Italy). During the 10 days of visit he performed a characterization of sensitivity, bandwidth, and linearity of house-packaged photodiodes. Photodiodes were successfully used in microwave photonics experiments ranging from optoelectronic oscillator, microwave photonics assisted measurement of phase noise and possible…
Muhsin Ali, a PhD student at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain visited Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) in Berlin, Germany for a period of two months. Under the supervision of Dr. Björn Globisch, he worked with two different research groups of THz Sensors and Systems and Polymer PIC. The aim of the STSM was to design and develop antenna-integrated mm-Wave and THz photonic emitters…
Mehmet Alp Ilgaz, a PhD student from the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), received an ITC Conference Grant from this Action for participating in the 2nd International Conference on Photonics Research (Interphotonics 2019), held at the Mirage Park Resort Hotel in Antalya (Turkey) between November 4th to 9th, 2019. He had an invited talk about “Current state of the development of the opto-electronic oscillator “. He described his…
During the 8th International Workshop on Fiber Optics in Access Networks (FOAN), a successful special session on Integrated Microwave Photonics in Access Networks was organised by EuIMWP. A two-day event took place in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina, 2–3 September 2019. It involved contributions by 14 speakers, from 10 countries, who presented solutions for the convergence of radio and optical access networks in a physical layer.…
