This study presents an edge detection paradigm implemented on a photonic spiking neuron chip that emulates retinal ganglion cells’ spatiotemporal processing through an integrated distributed feedback laser with a saturable absorber (DFB-SA). According to the chip architecture, the time-to-first-spike encoding scheme is employed to convert pixel data collected from the receptive field (RF) into spatiotemporal spike patterns suitable for processing. Systematic experimental characterizations and numerical simulations with both binary and natural images demonstrate the system’s capability to perform biological plausibility in edge feature extraction. These results establish a pathway for a scalable photon spike network that combines biological plausibility with ultra-low power computing.

Fiber-optic interferometers are widely used in phase modulation (PM) time transfer systems. To achieve stable phase demodulation, resisting the phase drift within the interferometer is essential. Moreover, using lithium niobate phase modulator in the interferometer inevitably introduces residual intensity modulation (RIM) due to its inherent imperfections. A stable phase control method based on optical power detection is proposed to resist phase drift and concomitantly suppress RIM. Furthermore, the characteristics of phase control at the extremum point (EP) and near-extremum point (NEP) of the interferometric response curve are analyzed and compared. Analysis shows that EP control offers lower demodulation stability but higher sensitivity to intensity fluctuations than NEP control. A fiber-optic time transfer experiment validates the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method and confirms the analysis. The proposed method enhances the interferometer’s demodulation stability and shows good application prospects in phase signal detection.

The avalanche ruggedness of GaN ultraviolet avalanche photodiodes (UV-APDs), critical for reliable Geiger-mode operation, is systematically evaluated for the first time via an accelerated stress methodology. APDs with an ultra-shallow bevel edge termination (2.5°) exhibit superior ruggedness, withstanding a static avalanche current density of $10^{2}$ A/cm2 at room temperature and accelerated avalanche stress at $175~^{circ }$ C. In contrast, inherent instabilities are revealed in APDs with a conventional-shallow (12°) bevel edge. Degradation modes observed under stress included avalanche current increase after room-temperature stress and destructive breakdown at high temperature. The degradation mechanism is attributed to the trap-assisted charge dynamics at the mesa sidewall, a process driven by the high local electric field at the mesa sidewall. This degradation is effectively mitigated by the ultra-shallow 2.5°-bevel structure, which significantly reduces the sidewall electric field. The resulting high stability establishes a new benchmark for GaN APD reliability.
GaN紫外雪崩光电二极管（uv - apd）的雪崩坚固性是可靠的盖格模式工作的关键，首次通过加速应力方法系统地评估了雪崩坚固性。在室温下，具有超浅斜角（2.5°）的apd可以承受静态雪崩电流密度为$10^{2}$ a /cm2，以及在$175~^{circ}$ c的加速雪崩应力。相比之下，具有常规浅斜角（12°）的apd则显示出固有的不稳定性。在应力作用下观察到的降解模式包括室温应力作用后雪崩电流增加和高温破坏击穿。该降解机制归因于台地侧壁的陷阱辅助电荷动力学，这一过程是由台地侧壁的高局域电场驱动的。超浅2.5°斜角结构有效地缓解了这种退化，显著降低了侧壁电场。由此产生的高稳定性为GaN APD可靠性建立了新的基准。

Broadband optical waveguiding in an optical nanofiber can give great versatility to nanofiber-optic technology. To date, high-transmittance single-mode waveguiding in a single optical nanofiber in the full visible spectral range remains challenging. Here, by using a commercially available silica fiber with a single-mode cut-off wavelength smaller than 400 nm (Nufern, 405-HP) as the fiber preform, and taper-drawing the fiber into a nanofiber with a standard fabrication technique, we show that the nanofiber can support broadband single-mode waveguiding with high optical transmittance in the full visible spectral range. Quantitatively, a silica nanofiber with a uniform diameter between 210 and 270 nm can support single-mode optical waveguiding with transmittance higher than 96% (i.e., less than 0.18 dB in loss) from 400 to 800-nm wavelength. Such a broadband single-mode nanofiber may find applications including near-field optical coupling, optical interconnection, optical sensing, atom optics and fiber lasers in the broad visible spectral range.

We compare the long-haul coherent transmission performance of 30 GBaud DP-16-QAM WDM signals using five different S-band optical amplifiers: a thulium doped fiber amplifier (TDFA), a distributed Raman amplifier (DRA) and three different lumped Raman amplifiers (LRAs) using 10 km inverse dispersion fiber (IDF), 10 km, and 5 km Raman optical fibers (ROFs). Over 1050 km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF), the DRA performed the best with an SNR of 14.2 dB at the optimum launch power of −2.3 dBm, followed by the TDFA with an SNR of 13.0 dB and the LRA using 10 km IDF with 11.6 dB of SNR.

In this work, we present the highly temperature-stable 850-nm oxide-aperture vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers with via-hole device structure. The temperature dependence of static and dynamic characteristics of devices are investigated. The output power of 7.13 mW saturating at high thermal rollover current of 12.5 mA at $29~^{circ }$ C and only 2.7 GHz 3-dB optical bandwidth drop over the temperature range from 29 to $85~^{circ }$ C is observed for the VCSEL with a $sim ~4.6~mu $ m oxide-aperture diameter. The thermal resistance of the VCSELs and the internal device temperature are analysed by using the measured optical spectra. The results clearly indicate that the high temperature stability of our devices can be attributed to both improved thermal conductivity benefited from via-hole device structure and optimized quantum well gain-to-etalon wavelength offset.

Micro-LEDs is regarded as the next-generation revolutionary display technology due to its advantages such as long life, high efficiency, high brightness and high contrast. Yet its inherent Lambertian radiation characteristics and relatively broader emission spectrum result in low optical coupling efficiency and diffraction dispersion-related “rainbow” phenomenon when combined with a waveguide combiner in AR application. We have reported resonant cavity (RC) Micro-LEDs with a reduced divergence angle and narrow spectrum. This work further develops an optimized RC Micro-LEDs with a ITO shoulder, thus significantly improves the yield. Then RC Micro-LEDs with different die shape and size was systematically analyzed. Our work should advance the application of Micro-LED, especially for AR application.

Compared to traditional electronic logic gates, optoelectronic logic gates (OELGs) demonstrate significant potential to be a candidate of the key components for next-generation logic circuits. However, research on OELGs is still in its early stages. Here, we present an optically controlled OELG based on a single GaN-based ultraviolet photodetector (UV PD). This logic gate utilizes the output current as the readout signal to determine and and or logic operations. The type of logic gate is controlled by the intensity of the optical input signal. We have developed a SPICE model of the UV PD and validated the effectiveness of the proposed OELG through HSPICE simulations and experimental measurements. This work provides a new approach for the implementation of OELGs.

In this article, we demonstrate a silicon-based carrier-injection optical single-sideband (OSSB) modulator featuring a double-parallel Mach-Zehnder interferometer architecture. This design simultaneously achieves ultra-low driving voltage and high sideband suppression ratio (SSR). By optimizing the p- and n-doping profiles, the device achieves a V ${}_{pi }~cdot $ L of approximately 0.0375 V$cdot $ cm. In OSSB operation, the unwanted sideband is suppressed by around 33 dB, highlighting the modulator’s exceptional sideband suppression. These characteristics—low driving voltage, low loss, and high suppression—make the device highly suitable for homodyne phase-locking, on-chip sensing, and other integrated photonic applications.

Linear frequency sweep of lasers is essential for high-speed optical communications, frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and fiber sensing. Existing linearization methods suffer from structural complexity or calibration dependence, limiting chip-scale applicability. This letter presents a Dual Long short-term memory (LSTM)-based inverse system for nonlinear compensation, using two sub-LSTMs to model the distinct dynamics of rising and falling edges. Experiments show the method reduces relative residual nonlinearity by 96% and 60% for falling and rising ramps, respectively, outperforming conventional LSTM by 80%. Its compact, multi-task capability design enables simple, chip-level implementation for optical communications, sensing, and LiDAR.
