A four-channel selective microwave filter was demonstrated incorporating an optical resonator router, which is constructed by integrating a $1{\times}4$ space switch with an arrayed ring filters featuring different free spectral ranges. The center frequency of each channel was determined by the FSR of the corresponding ring resonator, and the four channels centered at 10 GHz, 16 GHz, 18 GHz and 20 GHz were individually selected to provide a bandpass filtering via the control voltage applied to the switched resonator.

A microwave free electron laser which consists of Marx generator, vacuum diode, bifilar helical wiggler, and guide solenoid was designed and constructed. The analysis of the magnetic field distributions of the bifilar helical wiggler and computer simulation of electron trajectories with the perpendicular effect of space charges led to the conclusion that the magnetic field distributions are suitable for the electron beam injection.

In this paper, a new asymmetric public key cryptography based on the modified RSA algorithm is proposed by using logic-based optical processing. The proposed asymmetric public key algorithm is realized into an optical schematic, where AND, OR and XOR logic operations are implemented by using free space digital optics architecture. Schematically, the proposed optical configuration has an advantage of generating the public keys simultaneously. Another advantage is that the suggested optical setup can also be used for message encryption and decryption by simply replacing data inputs of SLMs in the optical configuration. The last merit is that the optical configuration has a 2-D array data format which can increase the key length easily. This can provide longer 2-D key length resulting in a higher security cryptosystem than the conventional 1-D key length cryptosystem. Results of numerical simulation and differential cryptanalysis are presented to verify that the proposed method shows the effectiveness in the optical asymmetric cryptographic system.

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, the analytical propagation formulae for spectrally partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model pulsed (SPGSMP) beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere have been derived. The influences of the parameters for turbulent atmosphere and SPGSMP beams on the on-axis and off-axis spectral shift and degree of coherence for SPGSMP beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere have been analyzed, using numerical calculations. The obtained results have potential applications for SPGSMP beams in free-space optical communication and laser lidar.

In this study, we investigate the trends and prospects of spatial light modulation (SLM) technology that enables full complex modulation as a next-generation SLM. Current SLM technology, which is used as a key element in holography, augmented reality (AR), XR, and realistic displays, has performance limits that modulate only amplitude or phase. Notably, SLM capable of full complex modulation does not produce diffraction noise, unlike DC and twin image, and thus has a high-efficiency performance. In the future, the application field of next-generation SLM, which can be full-complex modulated, is expected to cover a wide range of holography-AR and-XR devices, optical artificial intelligence, and 6G free space optics communications, which will greatly contribute to the development of a super-realistic metaverse platform and service.

Optical wireless communication, or free space optics, is a promising solution for backhauls in sixth-generation mobile systems. However, the susceptibility of optical links to weather conditions has led to FSO links being furnished with radio frequency (RF) backups. These Hybrid FSO/RF systems provide enhanced link availability but lead to RF resource wastage. Cognitive radio technology, in contrast, is well known for its optimal use of RF resources and may be combined with an FSO link to create a Cognitive Hybrid FSO/RF system. This work uses such a system to analyze a configuration for a mobile backhaul in sixth-generation mobile systems. This configuration can seamlessly coexist with established large scale RF cellular networks. The performance of this configuration is analyzed with respect to outage probability and average bit error by considering the impact of optical channel turbulence, misalignment loss, RF interference, and noise. Mathematical closed-form expressions are verified by simulations.

In a ΛCDM universe, most galaxies are believed to evolve by mergers and accretions. The debris resulting from such processes remains faint and/or diffuse structures, such as tidal streams and stellar halos. Although these structures are a good indicator of the recent mass assembly history of galaxies, they have the disadvantage of being difficult to observe due to their low surface brightness (LSB). To recover these LSB features by reducing the photometric uncertainties introduced by the optics system, we attempt to develop an optimized telescope, called a linear astigmatism free-three mirror system, that minimizes the loss and scattering of light within the telescope. With that prototype, we observe NGC 5907, known as a nearby galaxy with a fabulous loop structure(s), to inspect its performance. After a dedicated data reduction process, including flat-fielding with dark sky flat and sky subtraction, our observation reaches a 1σ surface brightness limit of μlim,r ≃ 28.3 mag arcsec-2 in 10×10 arcsec boxes. We finally identify a single tidal stream that is likely the remnant of a nearly disrupted galaxy. This finding emphasizes that the capability of LSB detection with our telescope is comparable to that of much larger telescopes.

A phase-retardation function which was derived from Wigner distribution function (WDF) is used to increase a focal depth of a radially symmetric optical system. The WDF for one-dimensional signal is represented as a two-dimensional function of phasespace ($\chi,\zeta$), and a normalized irradiance is described as a form of the Strehl ratio (SR). The increase in the focal depth is accomplished by delivering a shearing tilt a that represents a characteristic of free space propagation with simple manipulation in the WDF space. In this paper we propose a method for evaluating the focal depth quantitatively by representing the phaseretardation function in terms of the focal depth term. In order to verify the validity of the proposed method, we compared the numerically analyzed result with that of J. Sochki's study. study.

We have calculated the optimum refractive index and normalized thickness of a single layer antireflection coating on the facet of buried channel waveguides as a function of waveguide width for several waveguide depths using the angular spectrum method and field profiles obtained by the effective index method (EIM) and the variational method (VM), respectively, and discussed the results. In the area of large waveguide width, the optimum parameters of a single layer antireflection coating obtained by both methods are almost the same. However, as waveguide width decreases, the parameters obtained by the VM approach those of a single layer antireflection coating between cladding layer and air, while those obtained by the EIM do not approach those, and the difference between the two parameters is large. The tolerance maps of the quasi-TE and quasi-TM modes obtained by the VM for square waveguides are located in almost the same area regardless of refractive index contrast, while those obtained by the free space radiation mode (FSRM) method for refractive index contrast of 10% are located in the different area. Thus, we think that the tolerance maps obtained by the VM are more exact than those obtained by the FSRM method.
