A generative pre-trained transformer with Kerr-soliton attention

Lindell M. Williams, Yan Jin, Scott B. Papp

Artificial intelligence systems, particularly through generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs), have enabled capability-rich language models, but their operation incurs substanti…

Second-harmonic stabilization of a bulk photonic resonator

Lindell M. Williams, Grant M. Brodnik, Scott B. Papp

The resonant modes of optical cavities provide a powerful resource for laser-frequency stabilization, underpinning high-precision metrology and coherent signal generation. Photonic…

Monolithic 3D integration of tantalum pentoxide photonics on arbitrary substrates

Grant M. Brodnik, Grisha Spektor, Lindell M. Williams +6

The photonics landscape encompasses a wide scope of material platforms, each optimized for specific functionalities, yet no platform meets the demands of all current and evolving p…

Activating high-power parametric oscillation in photonic-crystal resonators

Grant M. Brodnik, Lindell M. Williams, Haixin Liu +4

By engineering the mode spectrum of a Kerr microresonator, we selectively activate nonlinear phase matching amongst broadband parametric gain. At threshold, optical parametric osci…

Heterogeneous tantala photonic integrated circuits for sub-micron wavelength applications

Nima Nader, Eric J. Stanton, Grant M. Brodnik +8

Atomic and trapped-ion systems are the backbone of a new generation of quantum-based positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technologies. The miniaturization of such quantum sys…
