We present the first system penalty measurements for all-optical wavelength conversion in an integrated ring resonator. We achieve wavelength conversion over a range of 27.7 nm in the C-band at 2.5 Gb/s by exploiting four wave mixing in a CMOS compatible, high index glass ring resonator at approximately 22 dBm average pump power, obtaining < 0.3 dB system penalty.

Photonic manipulation of large-capacity data with the advantages of high speed and low power consumption is a promising solution for explosive growth demands in the era of post-Moore. A well-developed lithium-niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) platform has been widely explored for high-performance electro-optic (EO) modulators to bridge electrical and optical signals. However, the photonic waveguides on the x-cut LNOI platform suffer serious polarization-mode conversion/coupling issues because of strong birefringence, making it hard to realize large-scale integration.

Crystallographic analysis of the Escherichia coli tRNA seleno-modification enzyme in complex with tRNA.

The bacterial enzyme tRNA 2-selenouridine synthase (SelU) catalyzes the conversion of 5-substituted 2-thiouridine (R5S2U) to 5-substituted 2-selenouridine (R5Se2U) at the wobble positions of several tRNAs. Seleno-modification potentially regulates translation efficiency in response to selenium availability. Notably, SelU uses the 2-geranylthiouridine (R5geS2U) intermediate for sulfur removal, and this geranylthiol (geS) is a unique leaving group among tRNA-maturation enzymes.

Orientation-dependent photonic bandgaps in gold-dust weevil scales and their titania bioreplicates.

The scales of the gold-dust weevil are green because of three-dimensional diamond-type chitin-air photonic crystals with an average periodicity of about 430 nm and a chitin fill fraction of about 0.44. A single scale usually contains one to three crystallites with different lattice orientations.

In an effort to meet the high demand for silver nanostructures in both research and consumer applications, we devise a simple and readily scaleable photochemical method through which silver nanostructures of varying morphologies, sizes, and optical properties can be synthesized using batch and flow photochemical strategies. For the latter we build upon the application of a wrapped-lamp photochemical flow system recently developed by our group to enable sequential irradiation with several wavelengths of LEDs in series in an approach that we describe as "plasmon pushing". We find that this strategy can accelerate the conversion of silver nanoparticle seeds to decahedral and triangular nanostructures, and that with it we have control over the tuning of the size and optical properties of triangular nanostructures in the red and near-IR regions.

Free-Space to SMF Integration and Green to C-Band Conversion Based on PPLN.

Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University, Toyonaka 560-8531, Osaka, Japan.

In this study, we experimentally demonstrate a PPLN-based free-space to SMF (single-mode fiber) conversion system capable of efficient long-wavelength down-conversion from 518 nm, optimized for minimal loss in highly turbid water, to 1540 nm, which is ideal for low-loss transmission in standard SMF. Leveraging the nonlinear optical properties of periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN), we achieve a wavelength conversion efficiency of 1.6% through difference frequency generation while maintaining a received optical signal-to-noise ratio of 10.
