Microwave Photonics for Space-Ground Connectivity

Future space-ground communication networks require a seamless fusion of technologies that combine the all-weather reliability of microwave links with the ultra-high data capacity of near-infrared optical systems. Achieving this vision demands compact, robust, and multifunctional hardware, yet monolithic integration of these fundamentally distinct domains has remained elusive. Here, we present the first monolithically integrated silicon photonic chip that bridges microwave and optical domains for dual-band free-space communications and dynamic beamforming. The chip integrates a microwave true time delay (TTD) beamforming network, an optical phased array (OPA) beamforming network, and an optical coherent transceiver, all on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform. By uniting the strengths of microwave resilience, optical bandwidth, and coherent detection sensitivity, this photonic integrated circuit represents a critical step toward reconfigurable, interference-resistant, high-throughput links for satellites, UAVs, and ground stations. Experimental demonstrations confirm two-dimensional dynamic beam steering in both bands 24.9 deg x 18.5 deg at microwave frequencies and 10 deg x 4.7 deg in the optical domain. In a 5-meter free-space link, the chip achieves error-free transmission at 10 Gbps for microwave and 80 Gbps per wavelength in the near infrared band. These results establish integrated microwave photonics as a promising platform for bridging Earth and orbit through compact, dual-band, beamforming-enabled transceivers.

A photonic integrated processor for multiple parallel computational tasks

Optical networks with parallel processing capabilities are significant in advancing high-speed data computing and large-scale data processing by providing ultra-width computational bandwidth. In this paper, we present a photonic integrated processor that can be segmented into multiple functional blocks, to enable compact and reconfigurable matrix operations for multiple parallel computational tasks. Fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform, the photonic integrated processor supports fully reconfigurable optical matrix operations. By segmenting the chip into multiple functional blocks, it enables optical matrix operations of various sizes, offering great flexibility and scalability for parallel computational tasks. Specifically, we utilize this processor to perform optical convolution operations with various kernel sizes, including reconfigurable three-channel 1x1 convolution kernels and 2x2 real-valued convolution kernels, implemented within distinct segmented blocks of the chip. The multichannel optical 1x1 convolution operation is experimentally validated by using the deep residual U-Net, demonstrating precise segmentation of pneumonia lesion region in lung CT images. In addition, the capability of the 2x2 optical convolution operation is also experimentally validated by constructing an optical convolution layer and integrating an electrical fully connected layer, achieving ten-class classification of handwritten digit images. The photonic integrated processor features high scalability and robust parallel computational capability, positioning it a promising candidate for applications in optical neural networks.

Performance study of the JadePix-3 telescope from a beam test

We present the results of a beam test conducted on a telescope using the JadePix-3 pixel sensor, developed with TowerJazz 180 nm CMOS imaging technology. The telescope is composed of five planes, each equipped with a JadePix-3 sensor with pitches of 26 um x 16 um and 23.11 um x 16 um. In addition, it features an FPGA-based synchronous readout system. The telescope underwent testing using an electron beam with energy ranging from 4 to 6 GeV. At an electron energy of 5.4 GeV, the telescope demonstrated superior spatial resolutions of 2.6 and 2.3 um in two dimensions. By designating the central plane as the device under test, we evaluated the JadePix-3 sensor's spatial resolutions as 5.2 and 4.6 um in two dimensions, achieving a detection efficiency of over 99%.

The DAQ and control system for JadePix3

The silicon pixel sensor is the core component of the vertex detector for the Circular Electron Positron Collider~(CEPC). The JadePix3 is a full-function large-size CMOS chip designed for the CEPC vertex detector. To test all the functions and the performance of this chip, we designed a test system based on the IPbus framework. The test system controls the parameters and monitors the status of the pixel chip. By integrating the jumbo frame feature into the IPbus suite, the block read/write speed is further extended in order to meet the specifications of the JadePix3. The robustness, scalability, and portability of this system have been verified by pulse test, cosmic test and laser test in the laboratory. This paper summarizes the DAQ and control system of the JadePix3 and presents the first results of the tests.

DDR-ID: Dual Deep Reconstruction Networks Based Image Decomposition for Anomaly Detection

One pivot challenge for image anomaly (AD) detection is to learn discriminative information only from normal class training images. Most image reconstruction based AD methods rely on the discriminative capability of reconstruction error. This is heuristic as image reconstruction is unsupervised without incorporating normal-class-specific information. In this paper, we propose an AD method called dual deep reconstruction networks based image decomposition (DDR-ID). The networks are trained by jointly optimizing for three losses: the one-class loss, the latent space constrain loss and the reconstruction loss. After training, DDR-ID can decompose an unseen image into its normal class and the residual components, respectively. Two anomaly scores are calculated to quantify the anomalous degree of the image in either normal class latent space or reconstruction image space. Thereby, anomaly detection can be performed via thresholding the anomaly score. The experiments demonstrate that DDR-ID outperforms multiple related benchmarking methods in image anomaly detection using MNIST, CIFAR-10 and Endosome datasets and adversarial attack detection using GTSRB dataset.
