Broadband interferometry was used to evaluate microfiber and side-polished fiber sensors for refractive index sensing of fluids. Refractive indices ranging from 1.33 to 1.451 were measured. Sensor behaviour agreed with a simple theoretical analysis.

We propose and simulate a novel integrated thresholder based on nonlinear silicon microring resonators. By interfering the complementary effects of two resonators, the proposed device achieves a sharp threshold with flat one- and zero-levels.

We demonstrate that guided mode resonances enhanced second- and third-harmonic generation (SHG and THG) in an azo-polymer resonant waveguide grating (RWG). The enhancement factor for SHG emission is at least 1000 compared to that of a sample without RWG effect.

Multimode interference (MMI) waveguides-based photonic modulators integrated on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates are designed, fabricated and evaluated. With 100% modulation depth achieved, the lowest rise and fall times were respectively measured to be 52 and 48 ns. The highest 3 dB bandwidth in the excess of 6.5 MHz was determined from the corresponding devices.
