3rd PhD and ECI meeting, Sep 21st, 2021, Online

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…

New STSM of Andrej Lavric, from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Ljubljana (Slovenia) to Photonic Networks & Technologies National Laboratory of CNIT in Pisa (Italy)

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…

New STSM of Mushin Ali, from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain) to Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) in Berlin (Germany)

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…
