For many broadband operators, access network evolution is not defined by a single technology leap but by a series of incremental, carefully measured decisions. Existing DOCSIS infrastructure, established operational processes, and large installed CPE bases continue to influence network planning strategies. At the same time, growing upstream demand, noise challenges in legacy plant segments, and the long-term objective of a fiber-based access layer are shaping how upgrades are executed in practice.

Within this context, Radio Frequency over Glass (RFoG) has gained attention as a transitional mechanism that allows fiber extension into the access network while retaining RF interfaces and DOCSIS-based service delivery. Rather than replacing systems wholesale, RFoG supports a staged approach: fiber where it brings the most impact, coexistence with legacy services where continuity is required, and preparation for all-optical service models when timing and budgets align.

RFoG replaces coaxial distribution segments with passive fiber while retaining traditional RF interfaces and compatibility with DOCSIS and legacy broadcast video systems. This allows operators to extend fiber deeper into the access network while maintaining existing CPE and backend platforms. In essence, it enables fiber-based transport without immediately requiring full-scale system migration.

From a technical perspective, RFoG introduces several advantages associated with optical access. By removing active coaxial components in the field, it reduces power consumption and maintenance requirements. Fiber distribution also minimizes ingress noise and return-path interference, improving upstream performance compared to traditional HFC segments. These improvements are particularly beneficial in areas where noise and plant condition have historically limited upstream capacity.

A key topic in RFoG discussions is coexistence with PON systems. Because RFoG typically uses separate optical wavelengths for downstream and upstream transmission, it can share fiber infrastructure with GPON or XGS-PON. This makes it suitable for incremental network evolution, where operators can serve DOCSIS subscribers alongside fiber customers on a common outside-plant architecture. For operators pursuing gradual migration rather than abrupt technology replacement, this coexistence is a strategic advantage.

At the same time, RFoG is not without technical considerations. Optical Beat Interference (OBI), caused by simultaneous upstream transmissions from multiple optical nodes at similar wavelengths, has historically been a deployment challenge. However, modern system designs and improved upstream burst-mode techniques have significantly mitigated this issue. As a result, RFoG has become viable not only for single-family deployments but also for multi-dwelling units (MDUs) and high-density applications where upstream coordination matters.

Typical use cases for RFoG include fiber-deep upgrades, greenfield fiber deployments where legacy RF service must be supported, campus and rural fiber distribution, and MDU networks where rewiring internal coax infrastructure is impractical. In these scenarios, RFoG offers a balance between operational continuity and optical performance improvement.

It is also important to recognize RFoG’s role as a bridge rather than a final destination. In many markets, operators anticipate eventual migration to IP-video and full PON access. RFoG fits into this longer-term roadmap by enabling fiber extension, simplifying future conversion, and reducing operational load on legacy coaxial assets ahead of full platform transition.

Researchers from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, led by Prof. Erjun Kan and Assoc. Prof. Yi Wan, together with Prof. Kaiyou Wang’s team at the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has achieved a breakthrough in the study of two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic semiconductors.

Using the CIQTEK Scanning NV Microscope (SNVM), the team successfully demonstrated room-temperature ferromagnetism in the semiconducting material MnS₂. The findings were published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) under the title “Experimental Evidence of Room-Temperature Ferromagnetism in Semiconducting MnS₂.”

Pioneering Discovery in 2D Ferromagnetic Semiconductors

The discovery of 2D ferromagnetic semiconductors has raised great expectations for advancing Moore’s Law and spintronics in memory and computation. However, most explored 2D ferromagnetic semiconductors exhibit Curie temperatures far below room temperature. Despite theoretical predictions of many potential room-temperature 2D ferromagnetic materials, the experimental synthesis of ordered and stable metastable structures remains a formidable challenge.

In this study, the researchers developed a template-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method to synthesize layered MnS₂ microstructures within a ReS₂ template. High-resolution atomic characterizations revealed that the monolayer MnS₂ microstructure crystallized well in a distorted T-phase. The optical bandgap and temperature-dependent carrier mobility confirmed its semiconducting nature.

By combining vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), electrical transport measurements, and micro-magnetic imaging using CIQTEK SNVM, the team provided solid experimental evidence of room-temperature ferromagnetism in MnS₂. Electrical transport measurements also revealed an anomalous Hall resistance component in the monolayer samples. Theoretical calculations further indicated that this ferromagnetism originates from short-range Mn–Mn interactions.

This work not only confirms the intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism of layered MnS₂ but also proposes an innovative approach for the growth of metastable functional 2D materials.

Two Key Breakthroughs

• Intrinsic Room-Temperature Ferromagnetism in MnS₂ Monolayers:
  The study experimentally demonstrates intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism in semiconducting MnS₂, resolving the long-standing conflict between semiconductivity and magnetism.

• Template-Assisted CVD Strategy for Metastable Ferromagnetic Microstructures:
  The developed synthesis strategy enables scalable fabrication of metastable ferromagnetic microstructures.

These advances establish MnS₂ as a model platform for 2D spintronics, offering a new pathway for engineering low-dimensional magnetic materials.

A research team led by Prof. Haomin Wang from the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has achieved significant progress in studying the magnetism of zigzag graphene nanoribbons (zGNRs) using the CIQTEK Scanning NV Microscope (SNVM).

Building on their previous research, the team fabricated oriented atomic grooves in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) by pre-etching with metal nanoparticles and synthesized chiral-controlled graphene nanoribbons within these grooves through a vapor-phase catalytic CVD method. The resulting ~9 nm-wide zGNRs embedded in the hBN lattice exhibited intrinsic magnetic properties, which were directly confirmed experimentally for the first time using SNVM combined with magnetic transport measurements.

This groundbreaking work lays a solid foundation for developing graphene-based spintronic devices. The study, titled “Signatures of magnetism in zigzag graphene nanoribbons embedded in a hexagonal boron nitride lattice”, was published in the renowned journal Nature Materials.

Understanding Graphene Magnetism

Graphene, as a unique two-dimensional material, exhibits p-orbital electron magnetism that differs fundamentally from the localized d/f orbital magnetism found in conventional materials. This distinction opens new directions for exploring carbon-based quantum magnetism. Zigzag graphene nanoribbons (zGNRs) are particularly promising for spintronic applications because of their predicted magnetic electronic states near the Fermi level. However, detecting zGNR magnetism through electrical transport measurements has remained highly challenging.

The main difficulties include the limited length of bottom-up synthesized nanoribbons, which complicates device fabrication, and the chemically reactive edges that lead to instability or inhomogeneous doping. Furthermore, in narrow zGNRs, strong antiferromagnetic coupling between edge states makes it difficult to electrically detect magnetic signals. These challenges have hindered direct observation of intrinsic magnetism in zGNRs.

SNVM Reveals Magnetic Signals at Room Temperature

Embedding zGNRs within an hBN lattice enhances edge stability and introduces built-in electric fields, providing an ideal environment for studying magnetism. Using CIQTEK’s room-temperature SNVM, the researchers directly visualized magnetic signals in zGNRs for the first time under ambient conditions.

Figure 1. Magnetic measurement of zGNRs embedded in a hexagonal boron nitride lattice using the Scanning NV Microscope

In electrical transport measurements, the ~9 nm-wide zGNR transistors demonstrated high conductivity and ballistic transport behavior. Under magnetic fields, the devices showed pronounced anisotropic magnetoresistance, with resistance changes up to 175 Ω and a magnetoresistance ratio of approximately 1.3% at 4 K, which persisted up to 350 K. Magnetic hysteresis appeared only when the magnetic field was applied perpendicular to the zGNR plane, confirming magnetic anisotropy. Analysis of the angular dependence of magnetoresistance indicated that the magnetic moments were oriented normal to the sample surface. The decrease in magnetoresistance with increasing source-drain bias and temperature revealed interactions between magnetic response, charge transport, and thermal vibrations.

By combining SNVM imaging with transport characterization, this study provides the first direct evidence of intrinsic magnetism in zGNRs embedded in hBN and demonstrates the potential for electric-field control of magnetic behavior. This work deepens the understanding of graphene magnetism and opens new opportunities for developing graphene-based spintronic devices.

Moving from a conventional silicon-based Active Harmonic Filter to one using Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs represents a major technological leap, and the cooling system is directly impacted.

Here’s a detailed look at the cooling system of a SiC Active Harmonic Filter, highlighting how it differs from traditional IGBT-based AHFs.

The Core Advantage: Why SiC Changes the Game

Silicon Carbide is a wide-bandgap semiconductor with superior material properties compared to silicon. For an AHF, this translates into three key benefits that directly influence thermal management:

1. Higher Switching Frequencies: SiC MOSFETs can switch on and off much faster than IGBTs. This allows for a more accurate reconstruction of the "anti-harmonic" current, improving performance, especially for higher-order harmonics.

2. Lower Switching Losses: The most significant impact for cooling. The rapid switching of SiC devices generates less heat during each transition.

3. Higher Operating Temperatures: SiC semiconductors can theoretically operate at junction temperatures up to 200°C or more, compared to the typical 150°C limit for silicon IGBTs. This provides a higher safety margin.

Impact on the Cooling System

Because of the advantages above, the thermal design of a SiC AHF becomes simpler, more efficient, and more reliable.

1. Reduced Heat Load

The primary effect is that a SiC AHF generates less heat for the same output power. The lower switching and conduction losses mean there is simply less thermal energy that needs to be removed.

Result: The cooling system can be smaller, quieter, and less powerful for the same AHF rating.

2. Cooling Method Evolution

• Forced Air Cooling Becomes More Viable for Higher Power:

  • A 100A SiC AHF might be comfortably air-cooled, whereas a 100A silicon IGBT AHF might be pushing the limits of air cooling, requiring a larger, noisier fan assembly.

  • The reduced heat load means the fans can run slower, leading to quieter operation and longer fan life. The heat sinks can also be smaller.

• Liquid Cooling Becomes More about Power Density than Necessity:

  • For the highest power ratings (e.g., >300A), liquid cooling is still used, but now the driver is often extreme power density.

  • A liquid-cooled SiC AHF can be made significantly more compact than its silicon counterpart because the lower heat flux allows for a smaller liquid cooling plate and heat exchanger.

3. Increased Reliability and Lifetime

Heat is the primary enemy of electronics. By generating less heat and being able to withstand higher temperatures, SiC AHFs experience less thermal stress.

• Electrolytic Capacitors: These components are very sensitive to heat. The cooler internal environment of a SiC AHF significantly extends the lifespan of these critical (and often life-limiting) components.

• Semiconductors: Operating at a lower temperature relative to their maximum rating greatly enhances the long-term reliability of the SiC MOSFETs themselves.

• Fans (in air-cooled units): With a lower thermal load, fans run slower and for shorter durations, increasing their Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF).

Comparison: Silicon IGBT vs. SiC MOSFET AHF Cooling

Practical Implications and Benefits for the User

1. Smaller Footprint: You can get the same harmonic filtering performance from a physically smaller cabinet because the cooling apparatus is less bulky.

2. Higher Efficiency: Less energy is wasted as heat, so the SiC AHF itself consumes less power, improving your overall system efficiency. A typical SiC AHF can be 1-3% more efficient than a silicon one.

3. Reduced Maintenance: With less heat and slower-moving fans (in air-cooled models), the maintenance intervals can be longer. Air filters may not clog as quickly.

4. Reduced Downtime Risk: The higher inherent reliability and thermal ruggedness of the SiC system reduce the risk of unexpected thermal shutdowns or failures.

The adoption of Silicon Carbide technology fundamentally simplifies the cooling challenge in Active Harmonic Filters. While the cooling methods (air vs. liquid) remain the same, the systems are less stressed, more efficient, and more reliable.

When specifying a new AHF, choosing a SiC-based model is not just about better electrical performance; it's also a choice for a more robust, compact, and lower-maintenance system with a longer operational lifespan, largely due to its superior thermal characteristics.
