We present the design and characterization of a novel electro-optic silicon photonic 2×2 nested Mach-Zehnder switch monolithically integrated with a CMOS driver and interface logic. The photonic device uses a variable optical attenuator in order to balance the power inside the Mach-Zehnder interferometer leading to ultralow crosstalk performance. We measured a crosstalk as low as -34.5 dB, while achieving ∼2 dB insertion loss and 4 ns transient response.

As the feature size of microelectronic circuits is scaling down to nanometer order, the increasing interconnect crosstalk, resistance-capacitance (RC) delay and power consumption can limit the chip performance and reliability. To address these challenges, new low-k dielectric (k < 2) materials need to be developed to replace current silicon dioxide (k = 3.9) or SiCOH, etc.

Article Synopsis
- A new twelve-channel local-area-network (LAN) wavelength-division multiplexing (LWDM) filter has been successfully developed using lithium-niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) photonic waveguides with a channel spacing of 4.5 nm in the O-band (1270-1330 nm).
- The LWDM filter includes twelve single-channel bandpass filters utilizing multimode waveguide gratings with a TE/TE mode (de)multiplexer, featuring two stages of MWGs for improved performance.
- The device displays excellent spectral responses with low excess losses (~0.6 dB), broad bandwidths (2.9-3.4 nm), and ultra-low interchannel crosstalk (

Maximizing the molecular information density requires simultaneously functionalizing distinct monomers and their coupling connections. However, current synthesis generally focuses on distinct monomers rather than coupling reactions because the multistep reactions significantly escalate the synthetic complexity in an exponential increase. Here, we report the two-dimensional nanoarchitectures (2DNs) of end-on oligomers, with versatile molecular structures and negative differential resistance (NDR), synthesized by programmed and surface-initiated step electrosynthesis based on the simultaneous utilization of six reactions including cross- and homocouplings.

Contemporary studies in polarization multiplexing are hindered by the intrinsic orthogonality constraints of polarization states, which restrict the scope of multiplexing channels and their practical applications. This research transcends these barriers by introducing an innovative nonorthogonal polarization-basis multiplexing approach. Utilizing spatially varied eigen-polarization states within metaatoms, we successfully reconstruct globally nonorthogonal channels that exhibit minimal crosstalk.
