Lithography-free in situ photonic inverse design

Yiqi Zhao, Martin M. Stein, Fan O. Wu +6

Inverse design has emerged as a powerful engineering approach in nanophotonics, leading to devices with unintuitive designs that extend beyond human intuition. However, inverse-des…

Measurement-Adapted Eigentask Representations for Photon-Limited Optical Readout

Tianyang Chen, Mandar M. Sohoni, Saeed A. Khan +5

Optical readout in low-light imaging is fundamentally limited by measurement noise, including photon shot noise, detector noise, and quantization error. In this regime, downstream…

Programmable on-chip nonlinear photonics

Ryotatsu Yanagimoto, Benjamin A. Ash, Mandar M. Sohoni +7

Nonlinear photonics uses coherent interactions between optical waves to engineer functionality that is not possible with purely linear optics. Traditionally, the function of a nonl…

Arbitrary control over multimode wave propagation for machine learning

Tatsuhiro Onodera, Martin M. Stein, Benjamin A. Ash +10

Controlled multimode wave propagation can enable more space-efficient photonic processors than architectures based on discrete components connected by single-mode waveguides. Inste…
