Efficient electro-absorption modulator integrated with Ti diffused LiNbO3 waveguide consisting of stack of ITO/SiO2/Au and TiO2 film extended partially over the waveguide is presented. Simulation predicts insertion loss to be 0.04dB and extinction ratio to be 3.75dB for 20μm device under 2V switching voltage.

We demonstrate that VCSELs, like neurons in the brain, can successfully generate and communicate photonic spiking signals upon the arrival of external stimuli, yet at sub-nanosecond speeds (eight orders of magnitude faster). This offers great prospects for ultrafast photonic neuronal networks for non-traditional computing paradigms.

This work reports generation of a 128-GHz optical pulse train starting from a 250-MHz CEO-stabilized frequency comb, by means of dispersion-induced repetition-rate multiplication by temporal self-imaging. This demonstration should prove useful in bridging the current gap between CEO-stabilized MHz-rate pulse trains and highly demanded GHz-rate ones.

We investigate basic nonlinear effects in optical fibers which opto-geometrical parameters oscillate along the propagation axis. These “topographic” fibers provide an additional degree of freedom leading to multiple quasi-phase matched modulation instability side lobes in single pass configuration or in passive cavities. Experimental results are confirmed by analytical and numerical ones.

Silicon PMTs revolutionized the High Energy Physics instrumentation, first for the Calorimeters. Exploiting the Silicon PM technology and beyond, their pixel structure and avalanche regime, leads to novel tracking techniques, either applied to large area tracking systems or digital 3D avalanche pixel devices.

A flexible wireless Data Center (DC) network based on precise steerable Free Space Optical (FSO) links is described as a promising solution to meet future DC demands of high-throughput, with robustness to dynamic traffic patterns, reducing cabling complexity and increased energy efficiency. Robust and precise steerable FSO links over dynamic traffic play a key role in the reconfigurable optical wireless DC inter-rack networks. In this work, we propose and demonstrate a reconfigurable 10 Gbps FSO system incorporating a smart beam acquisition and tracking mechanism based on gimbal-less two-axis MEMS micro-mirror and retro-reflective film marked aperture. The fast MEMS-based beam acquisition switches laser beam of FSO terminal from one rack to the next for reconfigurable networking, and the precise beam tracking makes FSO device auto-correct any misalignments in real-time. We present the measured optical power loss and b it e rror rate performance of steerable FSO links in various directions. Experimental results suggest that the MEMS based beam steerable FSO links hold merit for future reconfigurable wireless DC networks.

We demonstrate all-fiber and widely tunable mid-infrared wavelength converters using As2Se3 microwires cladded with fluorine-based Cyclic Transparent Optical Polymer. Normal dispersion parametric processes are utilized to achieve far-detuned wavelength conversion of 49.3 THz, representing the largest frequency shift reported in soft glass materials.
