We describe the first experimental demonstration of a novel all-optical phase discrimination technique, which can separate the two orthogonal phase components of a signal onto different frequencies. This method exploits nonlinear mixing in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) to separate a 10.65 Gbaud QPSK signal into two 10.65 Gb/s BPSK signals which are then demodulated using a delay interferometer (DI). Eye diagrams and spectral measurements verify correct operation and a conversion efficiency greater than 9 dB is observed on both output BPSK channels when compared with the input QPSK signal.

A SbS-based reconfigurable diffractive optical neural network (RDONN) for on-chip integration is proposed. The RDONN can be integrated into standard silicon-on-insulator systems, offering a compact, passive, all-optical solution for implementing machine learning functions. The weights of the proposed optical chip are reconfigurable without the need to modify hardware structures or re-fabricate the chip.

All-optical computation based on metasurfaces has emerged as a powerful platform for spatial differentiation due to its advantage of high integration and parallel processing. However, while most current works focus on one- or two-dimensional (2D) spatial differentiation, three-dimensional (3D) all-optical computation for compact spatial differentiator remains elusive.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTransition metal phosphorus sulfides (MPS), a family of two-dimensional magnetic materials with a van der Waals structure, exhibit promising applications in nonlinear optical devices. The emergence of carrier coherence in MPS is a fascinating topic in coherently controlling the nonlinear effect (or other novel phenomena). Herein, we systematically investigated the third-order nonlinear optical responses of MPS (M = Ni, Fe, Mn) flake suspensions based on spatial self-phase modulation (SSPM) effect.

To address this bottleneck, we propose an all-optical switching network architecture for accelerating the communication phase of DML training. Experimental results validate packets with error-free and 385 ns server-to-server low-latency communication at traffic load of 0.
