The evident negative differential resistance regions are obtained in both electrical and optical output characteristics. The electrical and optical bistabilities controlled by the voltage through the tunneling diode are also measured. When the voltage changes between 1.46 V and 1.66 V, a 200-mV-wide hysteresis loop and an optical power ON/OFF ratio of 17 dB are obtained. A side-mode suppression ratio of the integrated device in the ON state is up to 43 dB. The tunneling diode can switch on/off the laser within a very small voltage range compared with that directly controlled by a voltage source.展开更多

The elemental imag...A high optical magnification three-dimensional imaging system is proposed using an optic microscope whose ocular （eyepiece） is retained and the structure of the transmission mode is not destroyed. The elemental image array is captured through the micro lens array. Due to the front diffuse transmission element, each micro lens sees a slightly different spatial perspective of the scene, and a different independent image is formed in each micro lens channel. Each micro lens channel is imaged by a Fourier lens and captured by a CCD. The design translating the stage in x or y provides no parallax. Compared with the conventional integral imaging of micro-objects, the optical magnification of micro-objects in the proposed system can enhanced remarkably. The principle of the enhancement of the image depth is explained in detail and the experimental results are presented.展开更多

In this lett...Reliable detection of weak phase signals under significant channel loss and complex noise environments is a crucial step for practical applications of optical integrated communication and sensing systems. In this letter, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an enhanced long-distance weak signal transmission method assisted by weak measurement. Performing heterodyne detection and light intensity compensation on two nearly symmetric post-selected paths, the method enables real-time estimation of a time-varying phase while maintaining robustness against technical noises proportional to light intensity or photon number, detector common-mode noise, and significant attenuation over long-distance transmission. Experimental results indicate a potential phase sensitivity at the level of 10-8rad even with a signal light intensity attenuation of 48.1 d B. Potentially, combining the adaptive adjustment strategy, the method may provide a viable solution in remote weak signal detection and extraction,thereby contributing to optical integrated communication and sensing.展开更多

文摘We experimentally demonstrate an In P-based hybrid integration of a single-mode DFB laser emitting at around 1310 nm and a tunneling diode. The evident negative differential resistance regions are obtained in both electrical and optical output characteristics. The electrical and optical bistabilities controlled by the voltage through the tunneling diode are also measured. When the voltage changes between 1.46 V and 1.66 V, a 200-mV-wide hysteresis loop and an optical power ON/OFF ratio of 17 dB are obtained. A side-mode suppression ratio of the integrated device in the ON state is up to 43 dB. The tunneling diode can switch on/off the laser within a very small voltage range compared with that directly controlled by a voltage source.

文摘A high optical magnification three-dimensional imaging system is proposed using an optic microscope whose ocular （eyepiece） is retained and the structure of the transmission mode is not destroyed. The elemental image array is captured through the micro lens array. Due to the front diffuse transmission element, each micro lens sees a slightly different spatial perspective of the scene, and a different independent image is formed in each micro lens channel. Each micro lens channel is imaged by a Fourier lens and captured by a CCD. The design translating the stage in x or y provides no parallax. Compared with the conventional integral imaging of micro-objects, the optical magnification of micro-objects in the proposed system can enhanced remarkably. The principle of the enhancement of the image depth is explained in detail and the experimental results are presented.

文摘Reliable detection of weak phase signals under significant channel loss and complex noise environments is a crucial step for practical applications of optical integrated communication and sensing systems. In this letter, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an enhanced long-distance weak signal transmission method assisted by weak measurement. Performing heterodyne detection and light intensity compensation on two nearly symmetric post-selected paths, the method enables real-time estimation of a time-varying phase while maintaining robustness against technical noises proportional to light intensity or photon number, detector common-mode noise, and significant attenuation over long-distance transmission. Experimental results indicate a potential phase sensitivity at the level of 10-8rad even with a signal light intensity attenuation of 48.1 d B. Potentially, combining the adaptive adjustment strategy, the method may provide a viable solution in remote weak signal detection and extraction,thereby contributing to optical integrated communication and sensing.

文摘To enhance the quality factor and sensitivity of refractive index sensors,a feedback waveguide slot grating micro-ring resonator was proposed.An air-hole grating structure was introduced based on the slot micro-ring,utilizing the reflection of the grating to achieve the electromagnetic-like induced transparency effect at different wavelengths.The high slope characteristics of the EIT-like effect enabled a higher quality factor and sensitivity.The transmission principle of the structure was analyzed using the transmission matrix method,and the transmission spectrum and mode field distribution were simulated using the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)method,and the device structure parameters were adjusted for optimization.Simulation results show that the proposed structure achieves an EIT-like effect with a quality factor of 59267.5.In the analysis of refractive index sensing characteristics,the structure exhibits a sensitivity of 408.57 nm/RIU and a detection limit of 6.23×10^(-5) RIU.Therefore,the proposed structure achieved both a high quality factor and refractive index sensitivity,demonstrating excellent sensing performance for applications in environmental monitoring,biomedical fields,and other areas with broad market potential.

文摘Compound eyes(CEs)that feature ultra-compact structures and extraordinary versatility have revealed great potential for cutting-edge applications.However,the optoelectronic integration of CEs with available photodetectors is still challenging because the planar charge-coupled device(CCD)/complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS)detector cannot match the spatially distributed images formed by CE ommatidia.To reach this end,we report here the optoelectronic integration of CEs by manufacturing 3D nonuniform ommatidia for developing an ultra-compact on-chip camera.As a proof-of-concept,we fabricated microscale CEs with uniform and nonuniform ommatidia through femtosecond laser two-photon photopolymerization,and compared their focusing/imaging performance both theoretically and experimentally.By engineering the surface profiles of the ommatidia at different positions of the CE,the images formed by all the ommatidia can be tuned on a plane.In this way,the nonuniform CE can be directly integrated with a commercial CMOS photodetector,forming an ultra-compact CE camera.Additionally,we further combine the CE camera with a microfluidic chip,which can further serve as an on-chip microscopic monitoring system.We anticipate that such an ultra-compact CE camera may find broad applications in microfluidics,robotics,and micro-optics.
