Article Abstract
As the critical device of microwave photonics and optical communication, the low-loss and high-efficiency optical phase shifter has attracted intense attention in photonic integrated circuits. However, most of their applications are restricted to a particular band. Little is known about the characteristics of broadband. In this paper, an SiN-MoS integrated broadband racetrack phase shifter is demonstrated. The coupling region and the structure of the racetrack resonator are elaborately designed to improve the coupling efficiency at each resonance wavelength. The ionic liquid is introduced to form a capacitor structure. Then, the effective index of the hybrid waveguide can be efficiently tuned by adjusting the bias voltage. We achieve a phase shifter with a tunable range covering all the WDM bands and even up to 1900 nm. The highest phase tuning efficiency is measured to be 72.75 pm/V at 1860 nm, and the corresponding half-wave-voltage-length product is calculated as 0.0608 V·cm.

The cross talk and power consumption of the 2 × 2 optical switch is a key metric in the design of large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs). We build a theoretical model of a 2 × 2 Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) optical switch, taking into account both imbalances in the arm loss and the coupler splitting ratio. The splitting ratio imbalance requirement for a given switch cross talk is summarized, which provides a guideline for the switch design.

A differential microelectromechanical system (MEMS) quartz resonant accelerometer with a novel oscillating readout circuit is proposed. The phase noise in a piezoelectric quartz resonant accelerometer has been systematically investigated. A high-performance front-end is used to extract the motional charge from a piezoelectric quartz resonator for the first time.

Unlike traditional designs of SSPP devices that rely on the strong-dispersion property, we address the high insertion loss issue by leveraging the weak-dispersion region of SSPP. A detailed study reveals the relation between the waveguide length, phase shift, and insertion loss of SSPP.

The Airy beam is radiated by judiciously designing the length of the slots to modulate the phase distribution. Compared to Airy beams generated by phased array antennas or metasurfaces, no complex feeding network associated with phase shifters and no space-wave illumination is required, thus allowing one to reach a low-profile structure.
