We discuss the design and testing of a laser integrated with a long on-chip optical feedback section. The device and feedback section have been fabricated on a generic photonic integration platform using only standard building blocks. We have been able to integrate a 10 cm feedback length on a footprint of 5.5 mm. By controlling the amount of feedback, we achieve chaotic dynamics in the long-cavity regime and show that the resulting dynamics is sufficiently complex in order to generate random bits based on the chaotic intensity fluctuation at a rate of 500 Mbits/s.

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.

In this study, we present a novel semi-tapered depressed-cladding waveguide structure, designed and fabricated using femtosecond laser direct writing technology. The optical guiding performance of this semi-tapered waveguide is systematically analyzed by characterizing its loss characteristics.

The MRR with a 3-dB bandwidth of 0.15 nm ensures the high resolution of the spectrometer.

In this study, we explored ion slicing on commercial yttrium iron garnet (YIG) crystals, bismuth-doped iron garnet (BIG), and newly developed YIG ceramics. After He ion implantation, wafer bonding and annealing, the BIG film on silicon was successfully fabricated, but its thickness and crystalline phase deviated from expectations.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA high-performance polarization stabilizer is highly desirable for many fields, such as optical communication, optical remote sensing, and optical measurement systems. It should simultaneously feature high tracking speed, compact size, low insertion loss, and low cost. Here, we experimentally demonstrate an integrated polarization stabilizer based on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonics and look-up table (LUT) method.
