Inverse-Designed High-Q/V Silicon Nitride Photonic Crystal Cavities for Second- and Third-Harmonic Generation
M. Takiguchi, P. Heidt, X. Z. Lim +7
SiN photonic crystal (PhC) cavities are promising platforms for nonlinear and quantum photonics because of their wide transparency window, CMOS compatibility, and negligible two-ph…
Inverse-Designed Non-Hermitian Hollow Nanowire Cavity for Generating Optical Orbital Angular Momentum
Xuen Zhen Lim, Masato Takiguchi, Ryuji Kuruma +2
We designed a gallium nitride hexagonal hollow nanowire whispering gallery mode cavity that generates an |m|=6 topological light with orbital angular momentum (OAM). OAM is generat…
Silicon photonic optical-electrical-optical converters based on load-resistor and current-injection operation
Masaya Arahata, Shota Kita, Akihiko Shinya +2
Optical-electrical-optical (OEO) converters are key primitives for low-latency, energy-efficient photonic computing because they enable nonlinear activation and optical signal rege…
Higher-order exceptional points unveiled by nilpotence and mathematical induction
Kenta Takata, Adam Mock, Masaya Notomi +1
Non-Hermitian systems can have peculiar degeneracies of eigenstates called exceptional points (EPs). An EP of degenerate states is said to have order , and higher-order EPs…
On-chip room-temperature CW lasing from a III-V nanowire integrated with a Si photonic crystal platform
Masato Takiguchi, Takuro Fujii, Hisashi Sumikura +3
We report the demonstration of continuous-wave (CW) lasing at room temperature from a III-V semiconductor nanowire integrated into a Si photonic crystal (PhC) cavity. Conventional…
Programmable Photonic Unitary Processor Enables Parametrized Differentiable Long-Haul Spatial Division Multiplexed Transmission
Mitsumasa Nakajima, Kohki Shibahara, Kohei Ikeda +4
The explosive growth of global data traffic demands scalable and energy-efficient optical communication systems. Spatial division multiplexing (SDM) using multicore or multimode fi…
