We report the design of electrically-pumped high-power vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers emitting at the mid-wave infrared wavelength regime. The device is designed with a monolithic configuration that can provide multiwatts of continuous-wave output power in a single transverse mode with an excellent beam quality.

We present a method for computing a fully focused image that includes radiative near field effects. These effects can be important when imaging targets with RF data under geometrical conditions in which the curvature of the electromagnetic wavefront cannot be ignored. We have found the technique to be useful for identifying scattering sources on complex targets, and for comparing simulated radar signatures with measured data. We believe the method can also serve to provide benchmarks for comparison with tactical imaging algorithms that may rely on approximations to achieve real time performance.

Sufficiently large depletion region for photocarrier generation and separation is a key factor for two-dimensional material optoelectronic devices, but few device configurations have been explored for a deterministic control of a space charge region area in graphene with convincing scalability. Here we investigate a graphene-silicon p-i-n photodiode defined in a foundry processed planar photonic crystal waveguide structure, achieving visible — near-infrared, zero-bias and ultrafast photodetection. Graphene is electrically contacting to the wide intrinsic region of silicon and extended to the p an n doped region, functioning as the primary photocarrier conducting channel for electronic gain. Graphene significantly improves the device speed through ultrafast out-of-plane interfacial carrier transfer and the following in-plane built-in electric field assisted carrier collection. More than 50 dB converted signal-to-noise ratio at 40 GHz has been demonstrated under zero bias voltage, with quantum efficiency could be further amplified by hot carrier gain on graphene-i Si interface and avalanche process on graphene-doped Si interface. The multi-junction structure on the hybrid structure is parameterized by fitting a small-signal model to the broadband coherent radio-frequency response of the hybrid device at a set of different carrier injection rates. By engineering the device dimensions, it is possible to suppress the resistance-capacitance delay being less than a picosecond and enable sub-Terahertz bandwidth operation. With the device architecture fully defined by nanomanufactured substrate, this study is the first demonstration of post-fabrication-free two-dimensional material active silicon photonic devices.

We demonstrate an optical filter to cancel 20 dB of various multipath self-interference components over a multioctave 600 MHz band centered around 400 MHz. This enables significant gains in transceiver effectiveness by enabling Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STAR).

Here we show a nanophotonic RNS arithmetic implementation by spatially shifting the input waveguides relative to a crossbar routers' outputs, where the moduli are represented by the number of waveguides. This highly parallelizable in-the-network kernel processes information at 10's of ps suitable for real-time computing.

We present a passive millimeter wave imager for aerial vehicle navigation in degraded visual and GPS-denied environments. The sensor employs aperture synthesis imaging techniques with optical upconversion of millimeter wave signals and coherent reconstruction in the optical domain to enable a suitably small form factor.
