Based on the simulation of Caussian beam interference, we adopt a chirped diffraction grating to achieve a specific interference pattern. The experimental results match well with the simulations. The portability and flexibility of the structured illumination chip can be increased greatly through horizontal encapsulation. High levels of integration, compared with the conventional structured illumination approach, make this chip very compact, with a footprint of only around 1 mm2. The chip has no optical lenses and can be easily combined with a microfluidic system. These properties would make the chip very suitable for portable 3D scanner and compact super-resolution microscopy applications.展开更多

The discontinuities of the normal components of the electric field across abrupt dielectric interfaces are considered in the absence of the limitations of scalar and semivectorial approximation, and the present PD scheme can be applied to both uniform and non-uniform mesh grids. The modal propagation constants and field distributions for buried rectangular waveguides and optical rib waveguides are presented. The hybrid nature of the vectorial modes is demonstrated and the singular behaviours of the minor field components in the corners are observed. Moreover, solutions are in good agreement with those published early, which tests the validity of the present approach.展开更多

The evident negative differential resistance regions are obtained in both electrical and optical output characteristics. The electrical and optical bistabilities controlled by the voltage through the tunneling diode are also measured. When the voltage changes between 1.46 V and 1.66 V, a 200-mV-wide hysteresis loop and an optical power ON/OFF ratio of 17 dB are obtained. A side-mode suppression ratio of the integrated device in the ON state is up to 43 dB. The tunneling diode can switch on/off the laser within a very small voltage range compared with that directly controlled by a voltage source.展开更多

The elemental image array is captured through the micro lens array. Due to the front diffuse transmission element, each micro lens sees a slightly different spatial perspective of the scene, and a different independent image is formed in each micro lens channel. Each micro lens channel is imaged by a Fourier lens and captured by a CCD. The design translating the stage in x or y provides no parallax. Compared with the conventional integral imaging of micro-objects, the optical magnification of micro-objects in the proposed system can enhanced remarkably. The principle of the enhancement of the image depth is explained in detail and the experimental results are presented.展开更多

The ROSA package was hybrid integrated with a planar lightwave circuit arrayed waveguide grating(AWG) with 2% refractive index difference and a four-channel top-illuminated positive-intrinsicnegative photodetector(PD) array. The output waveguides of the AWG were designed in a multimode structure to provide flat-top optical spectra, and their end facet was angle-polished to form a total internal reflection interface to realize vertical coupling with a PD array. The maximum responsivity of ROSA was about 0.4 A/W, and its 3 dB bandwidth of frequency response was up to 20 GHz for each transmission lane. The hybrid integrated ROSA would be a cost-effective and easy-assembling solution for 100 Gb E data center interconnections.展开更多

文摘An optical phased array(OPA)is a promising non-mechanical technique for beam steering in solid-state light detection and ranging systems.The performance of the OPA largely depends on the phase shifter,which afects power consumption,insertion loss,modulation speed,and footprint.However,for a thermo-optic phase shifter,achieving good performance in all aspects is challenging due to trade-ofs among these aspects.In this work,we propose and demonstrate two types of energy-efcient optical phase shifters that overcome these trade-ofs and achieve a well-balanced performance in all aspects.Additionally,the proposed round-spiral phase shifter is robust in fabrication and fully compatible with deep ultraviolet(DUV)processes,making it an ideal building block for large-scale photonic integrated circuits(PICs).Using the high-performance phase shifter,we propose a periodic OPA with low power consumption,whose maximum electric power consumption within the feld of view is only 0.33 W.Moreover,we designed Gaussian power distribution in both the azimuthal(ψ)and polar(θ)directions and experimentally achieved a large sidelobe suppression ratio of 15.1 and 25 dB,respectively.

文摘Integrated diffractive optical neural networks(DONNs)have significant potential for complex machine learning tasks with high speed and ultralow energy consumption.However,the on-chip implementation of a high-performance optical neural network is limited by input dimensions.In contrast to existing photonic neural networks,a space-time interleaving technology based on arrayed waveguides is designed to realize an on-chip DONN with high-speed,high-dimensional,and all-optical input signal modulation.To demonstrate the performance of the on-chip DONN with high-speed space-time interleaving modulation,an on-chip DONN with a designed footprint of 0.0945 mm~2is proposed to resolve the vowel recognition task,reaching a computation speed of about 1.4×10^(13)operations per second and yielding an accuracy of 98.3%in numerical calculation.In addition,the function of the specially designed arrayed waveguides for realizing parallel signal inputs using space-time conversion has been verified experimentally.This method can realize the on-chip DONN with higher input dimension and lower energy consumption.

文摘An indium tin oxide(ITO) and silicon nitride(Si_(3)N_(4)) assisted compact TE-pass waveguide polarizer based on lithiumniobate-on-insulator is proposed and numerically analyzed.By properly designing the ITO and Si_(3)N_(4) assisted structure and utilizing the epsilon-near-zero effect of ITO,the TM mode is strongly confined in the ITO layer with extremely high loss,while the TE mode is hardly affected and passes through the waveguide with low loss.The simulation results show that the polarizer has an extinction ratio of 22.5 dB and an insertion loss of 0.8 dB at the wavelength of 1.55 μm,and has an operating bandwidth of about 125 nm(from 1540 nm to 1665 nm) for an extinction ratio of>20 dB and an insertion loss of<0.95 dB.Moreover,the proposed device exhibits large fabrication tolerances.More notably,the device is compact,with a length of only 7.5 μm,and is appropriate for on-chip applications.

文摘Applications of optical switches,such as signal routing and data-intensive computing,are critical in optical interconnects and optical computing.Integrated optical switches enabled by two-dimensional(2D)materials and beyond,such as graphene and black phosphorus,have demonstrated many advantages in terms of speed and energy consumption compared to their conventional silicon-based counterparts.Here we review the state-of-the-art of optical switches enabled by 2D materials and beyond and organize them into several tables.The performance tables and future projections show the frontiers of optical switches fabricated from 2D materials and beyond,providing researchers with an overview of this field and enabling them to identify existing challenges and predict promising research directions.
文摘This study proposes a novel interferometric fiber optic gyroscope(IFOG)based on an integrated optical chip,application-specific integrated circuit,and small-diameter sensing coil.The overall size and weight of the prototype are 30 mm × 30 mm ×30 mm and 68 g,respectively,making it the smallest closed-loop IFOG,to the best of our knowledge.A static experiment shows that the bias stability of the integrated IFOG is very close to the theoretical accuracy limit determined by the fiber coil and can satisfy the requirements of near-navigation-grade compact inertial navigation systems.

文摘Both the 4 × 20 GHz coarse wavelength division multiplexing and LAN-WDM receiver optical sub-assemblies(ROSAs) were developed. The ROSA package was hybrid integrated with a planar lightwave circuit arrayed waveguide grating(AWG) with 2% refractive index difference and a four-channel top-illuminated positive-intrinsicnegative photodetector(PD) array. The output waveguides of the AWG were designed in a multimode structure to provide flat-top optical spectra, and their end facet was angle-polished to form a total internal reflection interface to realize vertical coupling with a PD array. The maximum responsivity of ROSA was about 0.4 A/W, and its 3 dB bandwidth of frequency response was up to 20 GHz for each transmission lane. The hybrid integrated ROSA would be a cost-effective and easy-assembling solution for 100 Gb E data center interconnections.
