Nonlinear Optical Signal Processing on Chip: A New Paradigm for Implementation of Optical Logic Functionality
Abstract
This program resulted in a solid framework for enabling on-chip nonlinear optical processing through realization of five solid material and device platforms with unique features, for the first time: 1) multi-layer Si/SiN/SiC material platform for nonlinear optics, quantum photonics, and optoelectronic applications (including the demonstration of the coupling modulator architecture for low-power wideband devices), 2) a hybrid material platform formed by integration of phase-change materials with Si/SiN for miniaturized ultra-low-power optoelectronic and nonlinear photonic devices, 3) a hybrid active material platform formed by integration of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides with CMOS-compatible substrates with the possibility of forming lateral heterostructures through a simple annealing process for the formation of active and nonlinear devices, 4) an integrated photonic/phononic material and device platform for nonlinear devices based on combined acoustic and optical waves (e.g., SBS-based devices), and 5) an integrated material platform based on an engineered array of plasmonic nanostructures for sensing and nonlinear optics on chip. The research in this program resulted in over 20 journal papers, 25 conference papers, and 20 invited talks.
