Mid-infrared spontaneous and stimulated emission dynamics in black phosphorus

Hisashi Sumikura, Akihiko Shinya, Masaya Notomi

Black phosphorus (BP) has attracted attention as a light-emitting layered semiconductor for mid-infrared (MIR) photonics owing to its direct and thickness-tunable bandgap energy, h…

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…

Optoelectronic recurrent neural network using optical-electrical-optical converters with RC delay

Masaya Arahata, Shota Kita, Kazuo Aoyama +3

Optical neural network (ONN) has been attracting intense attention owing to their low latency and low-power consumption. Among the ONNs, optical recurrent neural network (RNN) enab…
