Pattern Recognition Techniques for Boson Sampling Validation
摘要： The difficulty of validating large-scale quantum devices, such as boson samplers, poses a major challenge for any research program that aims to show quantum advantages over classical hardware. Towards this aim, we propose a novel data-driven approach, wherein models are trained to identify common pathologies using unsupervised machine-learning methods. We illustrate this idea by training a classifier that exploits K-means clustering to distinguish between boson samplers that use indistinguishable photons from those that do not. We tune the model on numerical simulations of small-scale boson samplers and then validate the pattern-recognition technique on larger numerical simulations as well as on photonic chips in both traditional boson-sampling and scatter-shot experiments. The effectiveness of such a method relies on particle-type-dependent internal correlations present in the output distributions. This approach performs substantially better on the test data than previous methods and underscores the ability to further generalize its operation beyond the scope of the examples that it was trained on.

Broadband Polarization Splitter-Rotator and the Application in WDM Receiver
摘要： Polarization sensitivity is a severe problem in photonic integration devices and chips based on the high-index contrast Si/SiO2 system. In this paper, a broadband silicon polarization splitter-rotator (PSR) comprised of a bi-level taper and a counter-tapered coupler is proposed with a large fabrication tolerance. The measured insertion loss is lower than 0.7 dB/0.73 dB for the wavelength range from 1470 to 1580 nm with a crosstalk lower than ?12.1 dB/?14.7 dB for TE and TM polarization input, respectively. By integrating the PSR with silicon arrayed waveguide gratings and germanium photodetectors (PDs) on a single chip, a polarization-insensitive wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) receiver is demonstrated with a polarization-dependent loss as low as 1.21 dB. High-speed operations are also achieved with clear eyes at 10 Gb/s.

Anisotropic Flow Control and Gate Modulation of Hybrid Phonon-Polaritons
摘要： Light-matter interaction in two-dimensional photonic materials allows for confinement and manipulation of free-space radiation in sub-wavelength scales. Most notably, the van der Waals heterostructure comprising graphene (G) and hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) provides for gate-tunable hybrid hyperbolic plasmon phonon-polaritons (HP3). Here, we present anisotropic flow control and gate voltage modulation of HP3 modes in G-hBN lying on air-Au microstructured substrate. Using broadband infrared synchrotron radiation coupled to a scattering-type near-field optical microscope, we launch HP3 waves in both hBN Reststrahlen bands and observe directional propagation across in-plane heterointerfaces created at the air-Au junction. HP3 hybridization is modulated by varying the gate voltage between graphene and Au. In this case, we induce modifications to the coupling of continuum graphene plasmons with the discrete hBN hyperbolic phonon polaritons, which is interpreted as an extended Fano model. This is the first demonstration of control of polariton propagation, including a theoretical approach for a break of the reflection/transmission symmetry for HP3 modes. Our findings augment the degree of control of polaritons in G-hBN and related hyperbolic metamaterial nanostructures bringing novel insights to on-chip nano-optics communication and computing.

Topical problems of biophotonics
摘要： Biophotonics emerged at the interface of most innovative scientific disciplines of the last century, i.e. photonics and bio- and nanotechnology. This area of scientific research and development unites physicists, biologists, chemists, pharmacists and physicians of various specialisations; the latter are the so called ‘end users’. To emphasise the importance of the area and successful interaction of researchers in the field of biophotonics, note that the 2014 Nobel Prizes were awarded to Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura for ‘the efficient blue LEDs that enabled the use of bright and energy-efficient white light sources’, as well as to Eric Betzig, William M?rner, and Stefan Hell for fluorescence microscopy with super-resolution. In 2018, Arthur Ashkin received the award for optical tweezers and their use in biological systems, together with Gerard Mourou and Donna Strickland who received it for the generation of high-intensity ultrashort optical pulses. All these innovative developments are closely related to biophotonics, were in particular initiated by its requirements, and serve its further development.

摘要： We have developed a 5 × 5 mm2 compact silicon-photonic receiver with a 28-nm CMOS transimpedance-amplifier (TIA) chip. The receiver chip was designed using a photonics—electronics convergence design technique for the realization of high-speed and high-efficiency operation because the interfaces of the optical and electrical components greatly influence the receiver characteristics. Optical pins were used to obtain easy optical alignment between the multimode fibers and the germanium photodetectors. An aluminum stripline between the PD and the TIA enhanced the 3-dB bandwidth because its characteristic impedance is greater than the TIA input impedance. Coplanar waveguides (CPWs) on the etched SOI wafer achieved a low insertion loss because the overlap between the electric fields of the CPWs and the silicon layer was reduced. We demonstrated 25-Gb/s error-free operation at both 25 and at 85 °C. The minimum sensitivities and power consumptions of the receivers were ?11.0 dBm and 2.3 mW/Gb/s at 25 °C and ?10.2 dBm and 2.5 mW/Gb/s at 85 °C, respectively. These results show that our receiver can be applied for practical use at high temperatures.

InGaAs Membrane Waveguide: A Promising Platform for Monolithic Integrated Mid-Infrared Optical Gas Sensor
摘要： Mid-infrared (mid-IR) absorption spectroscopy based on integrated photonic circuits has shown great promise in trace-gas sensing applications in which the mid-IR radiation directly interacts with the targeted analyte. In this paper, considering monolithic integrated circuits with quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) and quantum cascade detectors (QCDs), the InGaAs-InP platform is chosen to fabricate passive waveguide gas-sensing devices. Fully suspended InGaAs waveguide devices with holey photonic crystal waveguides (HPCWs) and sub-wavelength grating cladding waveguides (SWWs) are designed and fabricated for mid-infrared sensing at λ=6.15μm in the low index contrast InGaAs-InP platform. We experimentally detect 5 ppm ammonia with a 1 mm long suspended HPCW and separately with a 3 mm long suspended SWW, with propagation losses of 39.1 dB/cm and 4.1 dB/cm, respectively. Furthermore, based on the Beer-Lambert infrared absorption law and the experimental results of discrete components, we estimated the minimum detectable gas concentration of 84 ppb from a QCL/QCD integrated SWW sensor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of suspended InGaAs membrane waveguides in the InGaAs-InP platform at such a long wavelength with gas sensing results. Also, this result emphasizes the advantage of SWWs to reduce the total transmission loss and the size of the fully integrated device’s footprint by virtue of its low propagation loss and TM mode compatibility in comparison to HPCWs. This study enables the possibility of monolithic integration of quantum cascade devices with TM-polarized characteristics and passive waveguide sensing devices for on-chip mid-IR absorption spectroscopy.

Diamond Brillouin laser in the visible
摘要： Brillouin lasers providing extremely narrow-linewidth are emerging as a powerful tool for microwave photonics, coherent communications, quantum processors, and spectroscopy. So far, laser performance and applications have been investigated for a handful of select materials and using guided-wave structures such as micro-resonators, optical fibers, and chip-based waveguides. Here, we report a Brillouin laser based on free-space laser action in an extreme optical material. Continuous-wave lasing 167 GHz from a 532 nm pump is demonstrated in diamond using a doubly resonant ring cavity, generating a pump-limited output power of 11 W. The Brillouin gain coefficient is measured to be 79 cm GW?1 with a linewidth of 12 MHz. These properties, along with an exceptionally high Brillouin frequency and wide transmission range, make diamond Brillouin lasers a promising high-power source of narrow-linewidth output and mm-wave beat notes.

Multiscale coupled Maxwella??s equations and polarizable molecular dynamics simulation based on charge response kernel model
摘要： A computational scheme of coupled Maxwell’s equations and polarizable molecular dynamics simulation has been developed based on a multi-scale model to describe the coupled dynamics of light electromagnetic waves and molecules in crystalline solids, where the charge response kernel model is employed to incorporate electronic polarization of the molecules. The method is applicable to electronically non-resonant light–matter interaction systems that involve atomic motions in spectroscopy and photonics. Since the scheme simultaneously traces the light propagation in a medium on a macroscopic scale and the microscopic molecular motion under the light electric field, this enables us to treat the experimental setup and mimic its measurement process. As the first applications, we demonstrate three numerical examples of basic spectroscopies of an ice crystalline solid: simulations of reflection and transmission of visible light, infrared absorption measurement, and stimulated Raman scattering measurement. These examples show the detailed behaviors of the interacting light fields and molecules in the spectroscopic processes.

摘要： InP-based high electron mobility transistors (InP-HEMTs) and graphene-channel FETs (G-FETs) are experimentally examined as photonic frequency converters for future broadband optical and wireless communication systems. Optoelectronic properties and three-terminal functionalities of the InP-HEMTs and G-FETs are exploited to perform single-chip photonic double-mixing operation over the 120 GHz wireless communication band. A 10 Gbit/s-class data signal on a 112.5 GHz carrier is mixed down to a 25 GHz IF band with an 87.5 GHz LO signal that is simultaneously self-generated from an optically injected photomixed beat note. The results suggest that the intrinsic channel of the G-FET can achieve a speed performance that is superior to that of an InP-HEMT having an equivalent device feature size. The reduction of the extrinsic parasitic resistances and the implementation of an efficient photo-absorption structure in the G-FET may allow a millimeter-wave and sub-THz photonic frequency conversion with a sufficiently high conversion gain for practical purposes.

Waveguide-integrated van der Waals heterostructure photodetector at telecom wavelengths with high speed and high responsivity
摘要： Intensive efforts have been devoted to the exploration of new optoelectronic devices based on two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) owing to their strong light–matter interaction and distinctive material properties. In particular, photodetectors featuring both high-speed and high-responsivity performance are of great interest for a vast number of applications such as high-data-rate interconnects operated at standardized telecom wavelengths. Yet, the intrinsically small carrier mobilities of TMDCs become a bottleneck for high-speed application use. Here, we present high-performance vertical van der Waals heterostructure-based photodetectors integrated on a silicon photonics platform. Our vertical MoTe2–graphene heterostructure design minimizes the carrier transit path length in TMDCs and enables a record-high measured bandwidth of at least 24 GHz under a moderate bias voltage of –3 V. Applying a higher bias or employing thinner MoTe2 flakes boosts the bandwidth even to 50 GHz. Simultaneously, our device reaches a high external responsivity of 0.2 A W–1 for incident light at 1,300 nm, benefiting from the integrated waveguide design. Our studies shed light on performance trade-offs and present design guidelines for fast and efficient devices. The combination of two-dimensional heterostructures and integrated guided-wave nano photonics defines an attractive platform to realize high-performance optoelectronic devices, such as photodetectors, light-emitting devices and electro-optic modulators.
