Based on the simulation of Caussian beam interference, we adopt a chirped diffraction grating to achieve a specific interference pattern. The experimental results match well with the simulations.

High levels of integration, compared with the conventional structured illumination approach, make this chip very compact, with a footprint of only around 1 mm2. The chip has no optical lenses and can be easily combined with a microfluidic system. These properties would make the chip very suitable for portable 3D scanner and compact super-resolution microscopy applications.展开更多

文摘To achieve high quality factor and high-sensitivity refractive index sensor,a slot micro-ring resonator(MRR)based on asymmetric Fabry-Perot(FP)cavity was proposed.The structure consisted of a pair of elliptical holes to form an FP cavity and a microring resonator.The two different optical modes generated by the micro-ring resonator were destructively interfered to form a Fano line shape,which improved the system sensitivity while obtaining a higher quality factor and extinction ratio.The transmission principle of the structure was analyzed by the transfer matrix method.The transmission spectrum and mode field distribution of the proposed structure were simulated by the finite difference time domain(FDTD)method,and the key structural parameters affecting the Fano line shape in the device were optimized.The simulation results show that the quality factor of the device reached 22037.1,and the extinction ratio was 23.9 dB.By analyzing the refractive index sensing characteristics,the sensitivity of the structure was 354 nm·RIU−1,and the detection limit of the sensitivity was 2×10−4 RIU.Thus,the proposed compact asymmetric FP cavity slot micro-ring resonator has obvious advantages in sensing applications owing to its excellent performance.

文摘Thin-film lithium niobate(LN)has emerged as an ideal platform for efficient nonlinear wave-mixing processes due to its strong quadratic nonlinearity and high optical confinement.We demonstrate unprecedentedly efficient second-harmonic generation(SHG)in a double-layer thin-film LN waveguide.The modal overlap between fundamental and second-harmonic waves is significantly enhanced by the polarization-reversed double layers,leading to a normalized conversion efficiency higher than 10,000%W-1 cm-2 in theory.Under the low-and high-power pumping conditions,the measured normalized and absolute conversion efficiencies are 9600%W-1 cm-2 and 85%,respectively,substantially higher than state-of-the-art values among the reported SHGs in thin-film LN waveguides.Our results hold great promise for the development of efficient and scalable nonlinear photonic devices,with applications including metrology and quantum information processing.

文摘Gyroscopes are crucial components of inertial navigation systems,with ongoing development emphasizing miniaturization and enhanced accuracy.The recent advances in chip-scale optical gyroscopes utilizing integrated optics have attracted considerable attention,demonstrating significant advantages in achieving tactical-grade accuracy.In this paper,a new,to our knowledge,integrated optical gyroscope scheme based on the multi-mode co-detection technology is proposed,which takes the high-Q microcavity as its core sensitive element and uses the multi-mode characteristics of the microcavity to achieve the measurement of rotational angular velocity.This detection scheme breaks the tradition of optical gyroscopes based on a single mode within the sensitive ring to detect the angular rotation rate,which not only greatly simplifies the optical and electrical system of the optical gyroscope,but also has a higher detection accuracy.The gyroscope based on this detection scheme has successfully detected the Earth's rotation on a 9.2 mm diameter microcavity with a bias instability as low as 1 deg/h,which is the best performance among the chip-scale integrated optical gyroscopes known to us.

文摘Quantum communication is rapidly developing and is gradually being commercialized due to its technological maturity.Establishing dense communication links among multiple users in a scalable and efficient way is of great significance for realizing a large-scale quantum communication network.Here,we propose a novel scheme to construct a fully connected polarizationentangled network,utilizing the engineering of spontaneous four-wave mixings(SFWMs)and a path-polarization converter.It does not require active optical switches which limit the communication speed,or trusted nodes which lead to potential security risks.The required frequency channels in the network grow linearly with the number of users.We experimentally demonstrate a six-user fully connected network with on-chip SFWM processes motivated by four pumps.Each user in the network receives a frequency channel,and all fifteen connections between the users are implemented simultaneously.Our work opens up a promising scheme to efficiently construct fully connected large-scale networks.

文摘A new tapered multimode interference （MMl）-based coherent lightwave combiner is reported. A comprehensive theoretical analysis of mode behaviors in the tapered MMI waveguide is presented, and the output characteristics of the tapered MMI combiners with various structures are demonstrated. The combiner is fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator （SO1） substrate. Due to its advantages of having no end-facet reflection,easy extension to a multi-port configuration, high tolerance for fabrication errors, and compact size, the tapered MMI is a good candidate for a coherent lightwave combiner to be used in large-scale photonic integrated circuits.
文摘We present a 1 × 4 Y-branch digital optical switch in which S-bend variable optical attenuators are integrated. The S-bend waveguides, which are always introduced to connect the switch and the standard fiber array, are made use of and designed as variable optical attenuators. A compact device with low crosstalk and larger branching-angle is obtained. The device is fabricated on the thermo-optic polymer materials,and the performance of the device is measured. With an applied driving power of less than 200mW, the device has a low crosstalk of less than - 35dB at a wavelength of 1.55 μm.
文摘Triplexers are designed based on SOl flattop arrayed waveguide gratings （AWGs）. Three wavelengths （1310, 1490,and 1550nm） operate at three diffraction orders of AWGs. Simulation shows that the 3dB bandwidth,crosstalk, and loss are 6nm,less than -40dB, and 5dB, respectively. The output optical fields of the device fabricated in our laboratory are clear and show a good triplexing function.
