Dispersion of nondegenerate nonlinear refraction in semiconductors is measured using the Beam-Deflection technique. With large nondegeneracy, n2 is greatly enhanced and exhibits a strong nonlinear dispersion, which rapidly switches sign to negative near the bandgap. Potential applications including nondegenerate all-optical switching and pulse shaping are discussed.

We demonstrate the first interband cascade lasers heterogeneously integrated with silicon waveguides. The 3.6 μm wavelength lasers operate in pulsed mode at room temperature, with threshold currents as low as 394 mA.

We present an experimental study of the nonlinearity of modified uni-traveling carrier (MUTC) photodiodes at cryogenic temperatures. At 120 K, the amplitude-to-phase (AM-to-PM) conversion nonlinearity is reduced by up to 10 dB, resulting in nearly 40 dB AM-to-PM rejection over a broad photocurrent range.

Coherently coupled 2×1 VCSEL arrays with lithographically defined cavity asymmetries are fabricated and characterized. Shifting of the coherent coupling region controlled by the degree of asymmetry is reported, consistent with a controlled gain/frequency tuning in addition to the current tuning.

In this work, we simulate and analyse the peak emission wavelength and full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) parameters of nano emitters using four-color mixing approach to provide a tetragonal area as large as possible in CIE-1931, reaching over 160% NTSC area using emitters having 30nm FWHM.

Microring weight banks enable reconfiguration in analog photonic networks and multi-channel RF front-ends. We demonstrate 2-ring weight banks and show that they are tolerant to fabrication and thermal effects. Weights consisting of two microrings can potentially increase channel capacity by a factor of 2.72-fold.
