A compact two-dimensional grating coupler used as a polarization splitter

open access: yes, 2003
We demonstrate a novel polarization splitter based on a two-dimensional grating etched in a silicon-on-insulator waveguide. The device couples orthogonal modes from a single-mode optical fiber into identical modes of two planar ridge waveguides.

Coupling of Er3+ ions and Plasmonic Modes in Vertical Nanocavities for Spectral Broadening in Telecom Bands

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Left: Illustration of the glass & nanostructures system and the NIR emission at 1.5 µm, where the colored spheres represent the Er3+ ions within the doped glass. Right: Representation of the Stark splitting of the 4I13/2 and 4I15/2 manifolds of the Er3+, illustrating how the plasmonic modes facilitate the emission from the broader Stark manifold ...

Non‐Volatile Silicon Mach‐Zehnder Switches with 0.7 π Phase Shift Based on Graphene Heaters and Sb2Se3 Phase Change Material

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) can deliver unparalleled performance for future neuromorphic computing applications. Such neuromorphic PICs require a large number of tunable switches, which are typically realized with current‐controlled heaters, resulting in considerable energy consumption.

On‐Chip Saturated Absorption of CO2 in a Silicon‐on‐Sapphire Waveguide

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate the first saturated absorption of a molecular gas on a planar photonic chip. By coupling carbon dioxide with the tightly confined light of a silicon‐on‐sapphire waveguide, we achieve optical saturation using only milliwatt powers. This breakthrough provides a practical, low‐power foundation for creating ultra‐compact mid‐infrared ...

Evanescent-Wave Gas Sensing Using an Integrated Thermal Light Source

open access: yesProceedings, 2017
The last years showed an increased request for miniaturised, CMOS-compatible gas detectors. In contrast to sensors utilizing metal-oxide chemical interfaces, optical strategies are potentially faster and more robust.

Calculation of losses in 2-D photonic crystal membrane waveguides using the 3-D FDTD method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method is used to obtain loss per unit length in a two-dimensional photonic crystal membrane waveguide by simulating three different length guides. Results are shown for propagation both above and below

Chip‐Integrated Metasurface‐GaAsSb Nanowire Array Photodetectors for Single‐Pixel Polarimetric Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A 2×2 multiplexed GaAsSb nanowire photodetector array integrated with L‐shaped metasurfaces is developed for miniaturized infrared polarimetry. Leveraging non‐radiating anapole states that facilitate near‐field enhancement, the device demonstrates strong polarization selectivity at 835 nm.
