Spatially resolving amplitude and phase of light with a reconfigurable photonic integrated circuit
Johannes Bütow, Jörg S. Eismann, Maziyar Milanizadeh +4
Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) play a pivotal role in many applications. Particularly powerful are circuits based on meshes of reconfigurable Mach-Zehnder interferometers as t…
Automated manipulation of free space optical beams with integrated silicon photonic meshes
Maziyar Milanizadeh, Fabio Toso, Giorgio Ferrari +4
Free-space optics (FSO) offer promising solutions in wireless systems where many different devices need to communicate and interoperate, exchanging massive amounts of data as in co…
Analyzing and generating multimode optical fields using self-configuring networks
David A. B. Miller
Working with finite numbers of modes to describe, generate and detect optical fields can be both mathematically economical and physically useful. Such a modal basis can map directl…
Waves, modes, communications and optics
David A. B. Miller
Modes generally provide an economical description of waves, reducing complicated wave functions to finite numbers of mode amplitudes, as in propagating fiber modes and ideal laser…
Experimental band structure spectroscopy along a synthetic dimension
Avik Dutt, Momchil Minkov, Qian Lin +3
In recent years there has been significant interest in the concepts of synthetic dimensions, where one couples the internal degrees of freedom of a particle to form higher-dimensio…
Experimental demonstration of dynamical input isolation in nonadiabatically modulated photonic cavities
Avik Dutt, Momchil Minkov, Qian Lin +3
Modulated optical cavities have been proposed and demonstrated for applications in communications, laser frequency stabilization, microwave-to-optical conversion and frequency comb…
Attojoule Optoelectronics for Low-Energy Information Processing and Communications: a Tutorial Review
David A. B. Miller
Optics offers unique opportunities for reducing energy in information processing and communications while resolving the problem of interconnect bandwidth density inside machines. S…
Self-Configuring Universal Linear Optical Component
David A. B. Miller
We show how to design an optical device that can perform any linear function or coupling between inputs and outputs. This design method is progressive, requiring no global optimiza…
Self-aligning universal beam coupler
David A. B. Miller
We propose a device that can take an arbitrary monochromatic input beam and couple it into a single-mode guide or beam. Simple feedback loops from detectors to modulator elements a…
All linear optical devices are mode converters
David A. B. Miller
We show that every linear optical component can be completely described as a device that converts one set of orthogonal input modes, one by one, to a matching set of orthogonal out…
How complicated must an optical component be?
David A. B. Miller
We analyze how complicated a linear optical component has to be if it is to perform one of a range of functions. Specifically, we devise an approach to evaluating the number of rea…
Electrically controlled modulation in a photonic crystal nanocavity
Dirk Englund, Bryan Ellis, Elizabeth Edwards +4
We describe a compact modulator based on a planar photonic crystal nanocavity whose resonance is electrically controlled. A forward bias applied across a p-i-n diode shifts the cav…
Modal Analysis and Coupling in Metal-Insulator-Metal Waveguides
Şükrü Ekin Kocabaş, Georgios Veronis, David A. B. Miller +1
This paper shows how to analyze plasmonic metal-insulator-metal waveguides using the full modal structure of these guides. The analysis applies to all frequencies, particularly inc…
Fundamental Limit to Linear One-Dimensional Slow Light Structures
David A. B. Miller
Using a new general approach to limits in optical structures that counts orthogonal waves generated by scattering, we derive an upper limit to the number of bits of delay possible…
