Low-dimensional material-based heterogeneous silicon photonics has attracted significant attention due to their applications in developing integrated optoelectronic devices from the telecommunication band to mid-infrared wavelengths. However, the study of waveguide components integrated with low-dimensional materials for mode-division multiplexing (MDM) applications mostly remains in its infancy. In this paper, we demonstrated waveguide-integrated spatial mode filters by integrating subtly designed ten-layer PtSe nanoribbons on an ultrathin silicon waveguide with a deep-subwavelength thickness to eliminate modal crosstalk. To be specific, the undesirable propagating mode can be filtered out due to its strong interaction with the PtSe nanoribbons on the silicon waveguide surface. Our results show that TE-to-TE and TE-to-TE modal extinction ratios of 12 dB and 14.5 dB were measured in 100 and 75-μm-long PtSe-on-silicon waveguides at 2200-nm wavelengths. Our study paves the intriguing approach to developing waveguide-integrated spatial mode filters for on-chip MDM applications for optical interconnects and optical communications.

In many physical systems, the interaction with an open environment leads to energy dissipation and reduced coherence, making it challenging to control these systems effectively. In the context of wave phenomena, such lossy interactions can be specifically controlled to isolate the system, a condition known as a bound-state-in-continuum (BIC). Despite the recent advances in engineered BICs for photonic waveguiding, practical implementations are still largely polarization- and geometry-specific, and the underlying principles remain to be systematically explored.

Photonic mechanical sensors offer several advantages over their electronic counterparts, including immunity to electromagnetic interference, increased sensitivity, and measurement accuracy. Exploring flexible mechanical sensors on deformable substrates provides new opportunities for strain-optical coupling operations. Nevertheless, existing flexible photonics strategies often require cumbersome signal collection and analysis with bulky setups, limiting their portability and affordability.

Article Synopsis
- Metal-semiconductor-metal plasmonic nanostructures enhance electrostatic and optical fields, leading to efficient photodetection and manipulation of light on-chip.
- The performance of these Ge plasmonic-waveguide photodetectors is limited by the amorphous structure of deposited germanium.
- By using laser-induced crystallization of Ge, efficiency can be improved dramatically, verified through Raman spectroscopy, making this technique useful for enhancing the performance of various nanophotonic devices.
On-chip mode-division multiplexing (MDM), as a promising method of scaling communication bandwidth, has attracted tremendous attention due to potential applications in optical interconnects ranging from intra-chip to board-to-board communications. However, the MDM technique usually suffers from signal degradation due to crosstalk between spatial modes in multimode waveguide devices. Here we design waveguide-integrated graphene spatial mode filters for on-chip MDM to overcome this limitation.
