Microwave resonant electro-optic bulk phase modulator for two-dimensional smoothing by spectral dispersion in SG-IIA special-velocity-matched electro-optic (EO) phase modulator employing a microwave resonant design in lithium niobate is presented. Both the microwave property and phase-modulation performances of the 3.25-GHz modulator agree well with the numerical simulations. Using this modulator in a single-pass configuration with 1-kW microwave drive power, the spectral bandwidth of a 1 053-nm, 3-ns pulse-l...
Design of compact bi-directional triplexer based on silicon nanowire waveguidesA compact bi-directional (BiDi) triplexer using grating-assisted multimode interference (MMI) coupler is proposed based on silicon nanowire waveguides. Because of the high index contrast between silicon and silicon dioxide, the size of the structure is greatly reduced with a footprint of 2.5×911 (μm). Asymmetrical ports are introduced in the MMI structure to satisfy the bandwidth requirements of t...
Echelle dif fraction grating based high-resolution spectrometer-on-chip on SiON waveguide platformAn echelle diffraction grating based high-resolution spectrometer-on-chip on silicon oxynitride (SiON) waveguide platform operated at a wavelength range of 850 nm is demonstrated. The chip comprises 120 output waveguides with 0.25-nm wavelength channel spacing and has a size of only 11 × 6 (mm). The experimental results show that the insertion loss is –14 dB, the measured adjacent channel crosstal...
Surface plasmon-enhanced amorphous-silicon-nitride light emission with single-layer gold waveguidesSurface-plasmon (SP) enhancement of amorphous-silicon-nitride (a-SiNx) light emission with single-layer gold (Au) waveguides is experimentally demonstrated through time-resolved photoluminescence measurement. The a-SiNx active layer with strong steady-state photoluminescence at 560 nm is prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and the Au waveguide on the top of the a-SiNx layer is f...
