Optical isolation by temporal modulation: size, frequency, and power constraints
Jacob B Khurgin
Optical isolators are indispensable components of optical networks. Magneto-optic isolators have excellent operating characteristics, including low-to-no power consumption, but are…
Bistable all-optical devices based on nonlinear epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials
J. Gosciniak, Z. Hu, M. Thomaschewski +2
Non-linear and bistable optical systems are a key enabling technology for the next generation optical networks and photonic neural systems with many potential applications in optic…
versus : Dispersion and Energy Constraints on Time-Varying Photonic Materials and Time Crystals
Zeki Hayran, Jacob B. Khurgin, Francesco Monticone
Photonic time-varying systems have attracted significant attention owing to their rich physics and potential opportunities for new and enhanced functionalities. In this context, th…
On-chip low-loss all-optical MoSe modulator
Mohammed Alaloul, Jacob B Khurgin, Ibrahim Al-Ani +4
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), like MoS, MoSe, WS, and WSe, feature direct bandgaps, strong spin-orbit coupling, and exciton-polariton interact…
Nonlinear Optics: a look from the interaction time viewpoint and what it portends
Jacob B Khurgin
I present a simple view of nonlinear optcal phenomena as being determined mostly by the length of interaction time between photons and matter. This may explain why in the last deca…
A simple technique for evaluating dipole moments of Bloch states in tetrahedral semiconductors
Jacob B Khurgin
Permanent dipole moments of electronics states in non-centro-symmetric materials play pivotal role in many phenomena. Correctly evaluating them presents an arduous task and usually…
Atomic-Void van der Waals Channel Waveguides
Haonan Ling, Jacob B. Khurgin, Artur R. Davoyan
Layered van der Waals materials offer a unique platform for creating atomic-void channels with sub-nanometer dimensions. Coupling light into these channels may further advance sens…
High-Performance All-Optical Modulator Based on Graphene-hBN Heterostructures
Mohammed Alaloul, Jacob B. Khurgin
Graphene has emerged as an ultrafast photonic material for on-chip all-optical modulation. However, its atomic thickness limits its interaction with guided optical modes, which res…
Charge and Field Driven Integrated Optical Modulators: Comparative Analysis
Jacob B Khurgin, Volker J Sorger, Rubab Amin
Electro optic modulators being key for many signal processing systems must adhere to requirements given by both electrical and optical constrains. Distinguishing between charge dri…
