On March 4, 2026, our research group, together with Boya Di and Lingyang Song's group, published a research article entitled "Multiband wireless systems based on microwave integrated photonics with metasurfaces" online in the top academic journal Nature Photonics. We have proposed, for the first time in the world, a scalable unified platform that successfully realizes a parallel wireless communication architecture supporting mobile systems across different frequency bands from 2G to 6G and above by combining photonic integrated circuits with electromagnetic metasurfaces. This breakthrough not only breaks down the barriers to multi-band hardware integration but also provides a fundamental solution for cost reduction and efficiency improvement in future large-scale wireless systems.
