Our research focus is on convergence of radio and optical technologies. Future information and communications networks would require many base stations to provide super broadband wireless services, where optical fibers make connections for radio services. Microwave photonics (MWP) enables wired and wireless seamless networks. One of important items in MWP would be radio-over-fiber technology which transfers waveforms for radio services. Precise and high-speed control of lightwave would play crucial roles in such systems. MWP would be also useful for sensing technologies. Waveforms from many anntena units can be gatherd over fiber netrowks. Such systems are called sensor-over-fiber (SoF) networks. High performance radar imaging can be achieved by the SoF technology.
