Super-resolution Mapping of Enhanced Emission by Collective Plasmonic Resonances
摘要： Plasmonic particle arrays have remarkable optical properties originating from their collective behavior, which results in resonances with narrow line widths and enhanced electric fields extending far into the surrounding medium. Such resonances can be exploited for applications in strong light?matter coupling, sensing, lasing, and light harvesting, nonlinear nanophotonics, solid-state lighting. However, as the lattice constants associated with plasmonic particle arrays are on the order of their resonance wavelengths, mapping the interaction between point dipoles and plasmonic particle arrays cannot be done with diffraction-limited methods. Here, we map the enhanced emission of single fluorescent molecules coupled to a plasmonic particle array with ～20 nm in-plane resolution by using stochastic super-resolution microscopy. We find that extended lattice resonances have minimal influence on the spontaneous decay rate of an emitter but instead can be exploited to enhance the outcoupling and directivity of the emission. Our results can guide the rational design of future optical devices based on plasmonic particle arrays.

Preserved two-photon optical properties of hydrophilic proteins-conjugated quantum dots
摘要： Nonlinear optical properties of colloidal CdSe quantum dots conjugated with proteins were investigated in a wide spectral range with the two-photon excited emission technique using a tunable femtosecond laser system in the range from 700 to 1000 nm. The most signi?cant value of the two-photon absorption cross section σ2 for 2.9 nm size hydrophilic CdSe quantum dot was equal to 4 505 GM, while the two-photon excitation action cross section σ2·QY was found to be 0.101 GM at 900 nm. The nonlinear absorption properties are present as appropriate cross sections normalized per molecular weight which allows comparison of the nonlinear properties of the studied quantum dots with various nanosystems or organic dyes. The properties of these proteins covering hydrophilic colloidal quantum dots can be potentially useful for nonlinear bioimaging.

Dual Parallel Multi-electrode Traveling Wave Mach-Zehnder Modulator for 200 Gb/s Intra-datacenter Optical Interconnects
摘要： We present a silicon photonic dual parallel multi-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (MEMZM) based transmitter targeting 200 Gb/s 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) short reach transceivers. The MEMZMs have an average Vπ and electro-optic (EO) bandwidth of 5 V and 38 GHz, respectively. The transmitter is characterized versus receiver equalizer taps, received signal power, driving voltage swing, crosstalk voltage swing, bitrate, and reach. Results reveal that using only a 3-tap equalizer at the receiver, 100 Gb/s PAM4 net rate per lane can be achieved at a bit error rate (BER) below the KP4 forward error correction (KP4-FEC) threshold of 2.4 × 10?4. Moreover, up to 128 Gb/s can be received at a BER below the KP4-FEC threshold using only 2 Vpp and 1 Vpp driving the MEMZM segments. Then, both MEMZMs are driven simultaneously to assess the crosstalk impact on the BER performance at parallel operation. Driven by four binary signals, we demonstrate 200 Gb/s PAM4 transmission over up to 10 km of single mode fiber at a BER below the KP4-FEC threshold.

On loss compensation, amplification and lasing in metallic metamaterials
摘要： The design of metamaterials, which are artificial materials that can offer unique electromagnetic properties, is based on the excitation of strong resonant modes. Unfortunately, material absorption—mainly due to their metallic parts—can damp their resonances and hinder their operation. Incorporating a gain material can balance these losses, but this must be performed properly, as a reduced or even eliminated absorption does not guarantee loss compensation. Here we examine the possible regimes of interaction of a gain material with a passive metamaterial and show that background amplification and loss compensation are two extreme opposites, both of which can lead to lasing.

[IEEE 2018 20th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON) - Bucharest (2018.7.1-2018.7.5)] 2018 20th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON) - Towards Applications of Stimulated Raman Scattering in Nanophotonics
摘要： Nanophotonics is a rapidly evolving field, exploring behaviour of light on the micro/nano scale and the interaction of micro/nano objects with light. The driving force for its development is the promise to go far beyond the conventional boundaries of photonics. Because of the diffraction limit, high-density regular optical components do not have the ability to confine light down to the microscale dimension. The footprint of devices becomes more critical for applications with limited physical space, such as on-chip silicon-based photonic devices. In this paper, a review of some of the most significant accomplishments in the field of stimulated Raman scattering in microstructures is reported. These findings indicate promising perspectives for integrated Raman lasers.

Design of a novel nanoscale high-performance phase-change silicon photonic switch
摘要： We report the design of a novel high static performance on-off photonic switch by embedding the nanoscale phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5 into a silicon-on-insulator waveguide. The state of the proposed switch can be changed using electrical/optical pulses, and no electrical bias is needed to maintain a particular state. The fundamental mode propagating through the silicon waveguide drastically alters its properties because of the large index change at the Si-Ge2Sb2Te5 interface and absorption in Ge2Sb2Te5. The photonic switch made of the silicon waveguide embedded with Ge2Sb2Te5 of volume 400 nm × 180 nm × 450 nm (length × height × width) provides a high extinction ratio of 43 dB with a low insertion loss of 2.76 dB in ON state at the communication wavelength of 1550 nm. There is a trade-off between the insertion loss and the extinction ratio. For 10 dB extinction ratio, the insertion loss can be as low as 1.2 dB with an extremely low active volume of 400 nm × 30 nm × 450 nm (length × height × width). Further, spectral response investigations reveal that this switch maintains an extinction ratio of more than 30 dB in the wavelength range of 1500–1600 nm. The high static performance of the photonic switch reported here is a direct consequence of the proper dimensions of the active volume of Ge2Sb2Te5 and its incorporation into the silicon-on-insulator waveguide. We also propose figure-of-merit for bias-free (nonvolatile) photonic switches that considers relevant parameters of static performance.

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of Multichromic Nanocrystals of Polymethine Dyes
摘要： A unique method for the self-assembly of multilayer multichromic molecular crystals from three various polymethine dyes absorbing light in the broad spectral range has been developed. This method is based on the formation of an anionic platform of J-aggregates of magnesium complexes of thiamonomethinecyanines in an aqueous solution followed by the matrix synthesis of J-aggregates of two cationic trimethinecyanines on the surface of the platform. Spectral, luminescent, and photoelectric properties of the multichromic crystals of dyes have been studied. It has been shown that each multichromic organic crystal is a multilayer photoelement which possesses photoconductivity in three maxima of exciton absorption in the blue, green, and red spectral ranges with efficiency from 2.7 to 6.1%. The results form the basis for the technological development of high-organized molecular structures possessing unique optical and photoelectric properties with the aim of applying them in organic and hybrid organic/inorganic photonics and optoelectronics, including in the form of thin-film photoconverters in broad spectral ranges.

Nanophysics in laser-induced cluster systems: topological quantum states in electrical conductivity and features of optical spectraa??theory and experiment for dimensional effects
摘要： Functional physical properties of laser-induced nanocluster structures of different topology in the thin films deposited on solid surface and 3D-crystallic structures by femto-nanoexperiments are studied. Physical basis and specific topology nanocluster view are under our consideration with regard to the functional properties variation (electrophysics + optics) in granular structures. Modeling of electronic energy levels modification due to the topology factors and nonlinear dynamic model for coupled electronic states in the cluster system are carried out. New physical principles for possible application of such structures of topological photonics with different element compositions are discussed.

Enhanced magnetic modulation of light polarization exploiting hybridization with multipolar dark plasmons in magnetoplasmonic nanocavities
摘要： Enhancing magneto-optical effects is crucial for reducing the size of key photonic devices based on the non-reciprocal propagation of light and to enable active nanophotonics. Here, we disclose a currently unexplored approach that exploits hybridization with multipolar dark modes in specially designed magnetoplasmonic nanocavities to achieve a large enhancement of the magneto-optically induced modulation of light polarization. The broken geometrical symmetry of the design enables coupling with free-space light and hybridization of the multipolar dark modes of a plasmonic ring nanoresonator with the dipolar localized plasmon resonance of the ferromagnetic disk placed inside the ring. This hybridization results in a low-radiant multipolar Fano resonance that drives a strongly enhanced magneto-optically induced localized plasmon. The large amplification of the magneto-optical response of the nanocavity is the result of the large magneto-optically induced change in light polarization produced by the strongly enhanced radiant magneto-optical dipole, which is achieved by avoiding the simultaneous enhancement of re-emitted light with incident polarization by the multipolar Fano resonance. The partial compensation of the magneto-optically induced polarization change caused by the large re-emission of light with the original polarization is a critical limitation of the magnetoplasmonic designs explored thus far and that is overcome by the approach proposed here.

CMOS Nanophotonic Sensor with Integrated Readout System
摘要： The measurement of nanophotonic sensors currently requires the use of external measuring equipment for their read-out such as an optical spectrum analyzer, spectrophotometer, or detectors. This requirement of external laboratory-based measuring equipment creates a 'chip-in-a-lab' dilemma and hinders the use of nanophotonic sensors in practical applications. Making nanophotonic sensors usable in everyday life requires miniaturization of not only the sensor chip itself but also the equipment used for its measurement. In this paper, we have removed the need of external measuring equipment by monolithically integrating 1-D grating structures with a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit having an array of photodiodes. By doing so, we get a direct electrical read-out of the refractive index changes induced when applying different analytes to grating structures. The gratings are made of CMOS compatible silicon nitride. Employing a nanophotonic sensor made of CMOS compatible material allows fabrication of the integrated sensor chip in a commercial CMOS foundry, enabling mass production for commercialization with low cost. Our results present a significant step toward transforming present laboratory-based nanophotonic sensors into practical portable devices to enable applications away from the analytical laboratory. We anticipate the work will have a major impact on technology for personalized medicine, environmental, and industrial sensing.
