Programmable Non-Hermitian Synchronization of Light on a Silicon Photonic Processor
Ze-Sheng Xu, Nan Cheng, Mohammed S. Elmusrati +6
Synchronization is a pervasive collective phenomenon underlying the firing of neurons, the beating of the heart, and the coherent emission of lasers. Across these systems, dissipat…
Floquet-driven light transport in programmable photonic processors via discretized evolution of synthetic magnetic fields
Andrea Cataldo, Rohan Yadgirkar, Ze-Sheng Xu +5
Photons, unlike electrons, do not couple directly to magnetic fields, yet synthetic gauge fields can impart magnetic-like responses and enable directional transport. Discretized Fl…
Non-Hermitian Exceptional Topology on a Klein Bottle Photonic Circuit
Ze-Sheng Xu, J. Lukas K. König, Andrea Cataldo +8
Non-Hermitian physics has unlocked a wealth of unconventional wave phenomena beyond the reach of Hermitian systems, with exceptional points (EPs) driving enhanced sensitivity, nonr…
Heterogeneous integration of silicon nitride and amorphous silicon carbide photonics
Zizheng Li, Bruno Lopez-Rodriguez, Naresh Sharma +10
Amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) has emerged as a compelling candidate for applications in integrated photonics, known for its high refractive index, high optical quality, high th…
