We report the first complete 10G silicon photonic ring modulator with integrated ultra-efficient CMOS driver and closed-loop wavelength control. A selective substrate removal technique was used to improve the ring tuning efficiency. Limited by the thermal tuner driver output power, a maximum open-loop tuning range of about 4.5nm was measured with about 14mW of total tuning power including the heater driver circuit power consumption. Stable wavelength locking was achieved with a low-power mixed-signal closed-loop wavelength controller. An active wavelength tracking range of > 500GHz was demonstrated with controller energy cost of only 20fJ/bit.

Super-resolution imaging of cell metabolism is hindered by the incompatibility of small metabolites with fluorescent dyes and the limited resolution of imaging mass spectrometry. We present ultrasensitive reweighted visible stimulated Raman scattering (URV-SRS), a label-free vibrational imaging technique for multiplexed nanoscopy of intracellular metabolites. We developed a visible SRS microscope with extensive pulse chirping to improve the detection limit to ~4,000 molecules and introduced a self-supervised multi-agent denoiser to suppress non-independent noise in SRS by over 7.

Thermal transport in nanostructures plays a critical role in modern technologies. As devices shrink, techniques that can measure thermal properties at nanometer and nanosecond scales are increasingly needed to capture transient, out-of-equilibrium phenomena. We present a novel pump-probe photon-electron method within a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) to map temperature dynamics with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolutions.

Additionally, we introduce a novel, to the best of our knowledge, add-on structure and tuning method enabling automated compensation for fabrication imperfections, precise shaping of the RAMZI flat-top passbands, and alignment with Kerr comb lines. Experimental results have shown successful interleaving of eight channels of distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers as well as a 200 GHz Kerr comb, both achieving an extinction ratio of approximately 20 dB.

In this Letter, we demonstrated an auto-focusing system based on the you-only-look-once (YOLO) model. The trained YOLO model exhibits high classification accuracy of 99.

However, most NAF implementations rely on additional optoelectronic devices or digital computers, reducing the benefits of optical computing. To address this, we propose what we believe to be the first implementation of a nonlinear modulation process using an electro-optic IQ modulator on a silicon photonic convolution operator chip as a novel NAF.
