Back-scatter immune injection-locked Brillouin laser in silicon
Nils T. Otterstrom, Shai Gertler, Yishu Zhou +9
As self-sustained oscillators, lasers possess the unusual ability to spontaneously synchronize. These nonlinear dynamics are the basis for a simple yet powerful stabilization techn…

Hybrid Silicon Photonic-Lithium Niobate Electro-Optic Mach-Zehnder Modulator Beyond 100 GHz Bandwidth
Peter O. Weigel, Jie Zhao, Kelvin Fang +11
Electro-optic modulation, the imprinting of a radio-frequency (RF) waveform on an optical carrier, is one of the most important photonics functions, being crucial for high-bandwidt…
