Article Abstract

A Stokes vector based non-data-aided (NDA) differential group delay (DGD) estimation scheme with flexible bandwidth requirements is investigated. The scheme is demonstrated in both experiments and simulations for 40-Gb/s polarization-multiplexed coherent optical OFDM systems with up to 1000-km long haul transmission with an estimation error of less than 2.5 ps after 1000-km standard single-mode fiber transmissions.

State Key Laboratory of Advanced Optical Communication Systems and Networks, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China.

We design and fabricate meter-scale long connectorized paper-like flexible multimode polymer waveguide film with a large bandwidth-length product (BLP) for board-level optical interconnects application. The measured BLP of the multimode waveguide is greater than 57.3 GHz·m at a wavelength of 850 nm under the strictest overfilled launch condition with a maximum length of 2.

Bottlebrush polymers are complex architectures with densely grafted polymer side chains along polymeric backbones. The dense and conformationally extended chains in bottlebrush polymers give rise to unique properties, including low chain entanglement, low critical aggregation concentrations, and elastomeric properties in the bulk phase. Conjugated polymers have garnered attention as lightweight, processible, and flexible semi-conducting materials.

Mode converters (MCs) play an essential role in mode-division multiplexing (MDM) systems. Numerous schemes have been developed on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform, yet most of them focus solely on the conversion of fundamental mode to one or two specific higher-order modes. In this study, we introduce a hybrid shape optimization (HSO) method that combines particle swarm optimization (PSO) with adjoint methods to optimize the shape of the S-bend waveguide, facilitating the design of arbitrary-order MCs featuring compactness and high performance.

Inverse design of nonlinear metasurfaces for sum frequency generation.

Nanophotonics

August 2024

ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS), Department of Electronic Materials Engineering, Research School of Physics, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2600, Australia.

Sum frequency generation (SFG) has multiple applications, from optical sources to imaging, where efficient conversion requires either long interaction distances or large field concentrations in a quadratic nonlinear material. Metasurfaces provide an essential avenue to enhanced SFG due to resonance with extreme field enhancements with an integrated ultrathin platform. In this work, we formulate a general theoretical framework for multi-objective topology optimization of nanopatterned metasurfaces that facilitate high-efficiency SFG and simultaneously select the emitted direction and tailor the metasurface polarization response.

Flexible manipulation of surface waves (SWs) radiation has been continuously intriguing enormous interests of researchers due to its promising application prospects, and metasurfaces exhibit unparalleled capability to efficiently control SWs radiation. However, existing schemes still suffer from the bottlenecks of single radiation channel and immutable radiation pattern, which are difficult to satisfy the requirements of high-integration intelligent metadevices. Herein, an ingenious strategy of the SWs radiation metadevice is proposed to independently and dynamically manipulate SWs directional radiation in four polarization channels.
