Marek Kolenda, a PhD student from Vilnius University (Lithuania) participated in the International Workshop on Nitride Semiconductors 2018 (IWN2018), held in Kanazawa (Japan) on November 11‐16, 2018, with the poster “Carrier Extraction Enhancement at InN/p‐GaN Interface Heterojunction under Reverse Bias Voltage”, in which he presented good quality InN films, grown by pulsed MOVPE on the p-type GaN at 610°C with low defect concentration and efficient…
Jan Bohata, a postdoc researcher from Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of electrical engineering (Czech Republic), made a stay in the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain), under the supervision of Prof. Beatriz Ortega, aiming to advanced methods in microwave photonics. During his mission, he worked on deployment of a free space optics (FSO) system in a microwave photonic link togehter with implementation of photonic…
Matthias Steeg, a PhD student from the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE, Germany) has recently visited the lab of Stavros Iezekiel, in the University of Cyprus ( UCY, Latsia, Cyprus) during 29 days, with the aim of developing and fabricating a 5G 26 GHz photonic beam steering transmitter. Therefore, PCB leaky-wave antennas, produced at UCY during the STSM, are integrated with microwave photodiodes from UDE to…
The Management Committee of the EUIMWP COST Action has had their 3rd meeting in Toulouse (France), after the end of the MWP 2018 Conference.
The WG1 and WG5 participants met in Chalmers University of Technology (Götenborg, Sweden) last 27th and 28th of September. Chaired by Prof. Geert Morthier and Prof. Zhongxia Simon He, they discussed about the draft specifications of various microwave photonic PICs (WG1) and PICs used in vehicle communication and automotive radar application (WG5). A visiting tour was organized to visit Chalmers Clean room, Swedish national THz…
Catia Pinho, a PhD student from the Instituto de Telecomunicações, Universidade de Aveiro (Portugal) has spent 17 days in the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain), working under the supervision of Prof. Pascual Muñoz in Photonic Integrated Circuits, Photonics Research Labs.
