Slow and Stopped Light in Dynamic Moiré Gratings
Thomas E. Maybour, Devin H. Smith, Peter Horak
We investigate a theoretical model for a dynamic Moiré grating which is capable of producing slow and stopped light with improved performance when compared with a static Moiré grat…
Highly-Chirped Bragg Gratings for Integrated Silica Spectrometers
James W. Field, Sam A. Berry, Rex H. S. Bannerman +4
A blazed chirped Bragg grating in a planar silica waveguide device was used to create an integrated diffractive element for a spectrometer. The grating diffracts light from a waveg…
High-birefringence direct UV-written waveguides for heralded single-photon sources at telecommunication wavelengths
Matthew T. Posner, T. Hiemstra, Paolo L. Mennea +8
Direct UV-written waveguides are fabricated in silica-on-silicon with birefringence of , much greater than previously reported in this platform. We sh…
Modular Linear Optical Circuits
Paolo L. Mennea, William R. Clements, Devin H. Smith +8
We propose and demonstrate a modular architecture for reconfigurable on-chip linear-optical circuits. Each module contains 10 independent phase-controlled Mach-Zehnder interferomet…
