Are there any schools, research institutes and laboratories specializing in millimeter wave and microwave photonics in the United States?

Introduction: Microwave photonics is a subject, which refers to the interaction between optical signals and electrical signals in microwave frequency band. This paper mainly studies the optical equipment in microwave and millimeter wave bands and applies it to microwave systems and optical systems. Since the 1970s, with the vigorous development of optical and microwave technologies such as semiconductor lasers, high-speed photoelectric modulation detectors, integrated optics, fiber optics and microwave antennas, and microwave monolithic integrated circuits, a new interdisciplinary field has emerged, which combines the advantages of microwave and optics and forms a new discipline-microwave photonics.

The first research direction of microwave photonics specialty is to apply optical technology to microwave system, and use the unique advantages of optical system with low loss and large bandwidth to transmit and process microwave signals. Secondly, various microwave technologies are applied to optical systems to promote the development of optical communication networks and systems;

Are there any schools, research institutes and laboratories specializing in millimeter wave and microwave photonics in the United States? Microwave photonics research group is the core part of "Key Laboratory of Radar Imaging and Microwave Photonics Technology of Ministry of Education". Based on the intersection of microwave and optics, this paper studies the new mechanism and method of microwave/millimeter wave /THz signal generation, transmission, processing, control and measurement, breaks through the key bottlenecks of traditional microwave technology in bandwidth, loss and electromagnetic interference, forms innovative applications in aviation, aerospace and national defense, and forms four research directions, namely, microwave photon imaging radar, high-precision microwave photon measurement, intelligent optical wireless communication and integrated microwave photon chip.

Microwave photonics is a great person.

Dr Vincent J. Urick Jr joined the United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in 20001year, and he presided over the research work of the applied RF photonics department in the laboratory. Dr Jason McKinney joined NRL in 2006. At present, he is responsible for the research work of microwave photonics department in the laboratory. Before joining NRL, he began to study microwave photonics as a major member at Purdue University as early as 200 1. Dr. Keith J. Williams joined NRL from 1987, where he presided over the research work of photonics technology department in the laboratory.
