A heterogeneous III‐V/SiN platform for lasers at 800 nm is realized using the micro‐transfer printing method. Efficient GaAs gain sections are directly butt‐coupled to SiN waveguides, enabling continuous‐wave and mode‐locked extended‐cavity lasers. The mode‐locked lasers generate highly stable pulse trains with repetition rates up to 9.2 GHz and a ...

Reinforcement Learning Enabled Nanophotonic Devices
A reinforcement learning algorithm is used to design photonic devices. The method creates metagratings and grating couplers that efficiently control both the direction and polarization of light. Further, a reinforcement learning approach is used to design in‐plane integrated photonic devices. This approach paves the way for advanced photonic components
