This study investigates a low-loss and flexible terahertz frequency selective surface (FSS) based on cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) film substrate, which is fabricated via a simple temperature-control method without the use of solvent. The measured frequency response of the proof-of-concept COC-based THz bandpass FSS matches well with the numerical results. Due to the ultra-low COC dielectric dissipation factor (order of 0.0001) in the THz band, the measured passband insertion loss at 559 GHz reaches 1.22 dB, which is much better than that of previously reported THz bandpass filters. This work indicates that the remarkable characteristics (small dielectric constant, low frequency dispersion, low dissipation factor, good flexibility, etc.) of the proposed COC material make it a great application prospect in the THz field.

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.

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.

Optical signal processing has been playing a crucial part as powerful engine for various information systems in the practical applications. In particular, achieving large-scale programmable chips for signal processing are highly desirable for high flexibility, low cost and powerful processing. Silicon photonics, which has been developed successfully in the past decade, provides a promising option due to its unique advantages.

We confirm that the U-shaped nested tubes can better compress the fiber core compared with the circular and semi-circular nested tubes to further reduce the loss and improve the single polarization characteristics. The proposed optical fiber has an ultra-low loss of 0.

- Polycrystalline silicon-germanium (SiGe) core fibers have been developed as flexible platforms for advanced optoelectronic devices, showing promise for higher performance than traditional silicon fibers due to their enhanced nonlinear properties and adjustable composition.
- A specific type of SiGe core fiber was created using a molten core drawing method and improved with CO laser irradiation to ensure core uniformity, followed by a fiber tapering technique to optimize its transmission properties.
- The resulting SiGe fiber demonstrated low linear loss across a mid-infrared wavelength range and showed improved nonlinear performance, suggesting significant potential for future applications in nonlinear photonics, especially in the >2 µm wavelength region.
