Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The microwave signal processing in the optical domain creates new opportunities for information and communication technology (ICT) and networks by increasing speed, bandwidth, and processing capability. IMWP incorporates the functions of microwave photonics components/subsystems in monolithic or hybrid photonic circuits to meet future needs. Sapphire platforms have the potential to integrate all-in-one, for instance, light source, analog signal processing, light detection, CMOS control circuit, silicon on sapphire to achieve high-performance, low-cost mixed-signal optical links etc. Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has been used to grow GaAs on sapphire substrates to integrate optoelectronic devices in the same platform.
