We use the Stokes photon of a biphoton pair to set the time origin for electro-optic modulation of the wave function of the anti-Stokes photon thereby allowing arbitrary phase and amplitude modulation. We demonstrate conditional single-photon wave functions composed of several pulses, or instead, having Gaussian or exponential shapes.

We demonstrate a widely spaced, stabilized, and self-referenced opto-electronic oscillator driven electro-optic modulator based optical frequency comb. Using an ultra-stable Fabry-Perot etalon as a stable reference, we simultaneously stabilize a CW laser and generate a low noise and stable RF oscillation used to drive an electro-optic comb. In such a manner, the Fabry-Perot etalon pins both the carrier-envelope-offset frequency ( ) and the repetition rate of the comb in place ( ), eliminating the need for an external RF oscillator.

However, nonresonant devices such as waveguides are susceptible to limitations in modulation efficiency and bandwidth during electro-optic modulation. In this paper, by utilizing chirp modulation resonance mode, we have realized an EO comb based on a lithium niobate resonator with small tooth spacing and high flatness.

However, most existing coherent optical neural networks (CONN) rely on coherent light sources to establish transmission models. The use of laser inputs and electro-optic modulation devices at the front end of these neural networks diminishes their computational capability and energy efficiency, thereby limiting their practical applications in object detection tasks.

However, one major challenge with all-silicon MZMs is to achieve efficient high-speed electro-optic (EO) modulation. The reported 3 dB bandwidth of silicon MZMs are generally below 70 GHz, with half-wave voltage ( ) around 5 V or larger, which can not support future 200 Gbaud data transmission.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe experimentally demonstrate what we believe to be a novel RF interference mitigation technique using a network of low-loss silicon nitride ring resonators. The rings are used for complex (phase and amplitude) line-by-line shaping of higher-order sidebands from an electro-optic modulator to discriminate large and small RF signal input, thereby achieving strong (30 dB) mitigation of a large signal and virtually no mitigation for small signals.
