Optical bistability in a single-bus InGaAs micro-ring resonator array

In this paper, we investigate the optical bistability induced by optical nonlinearity in a compact parallel array of micro-ring resonators with radius of 5 μm. Due to the nature of perfect light confinement in this structure, resonance and accumulation process in a ring resonator and optical nonlinear effects, are observable even at small optical power (a few milliwatts). Different optical applications such as all-optical switching, optical memory devices, logic gates and modulators are possible, due to optical bistability in a ring resonator. Using alternative semiconductor compounds, instead of silicon that have weak nonlinear optical properties, we improve the performance of ring-resonator based devices. Here we use a polymer cladding layer with negative thermo-optic coefficient. Using this structure we can eliminate the temperature created nonlinearity which is a very slow process. Therefore, the switching speed increases from a few MHz to several tens of GHz. By plotting the transfer function of the resonator, a hysteresis loop is observed in a few milliwatts. Although, using a ring resonator array the bandwidth reduces, however, the width of the hysteresis loop and resolution between both steady state increases.     

Pulse polarization entangled-photon generated by chaotic signals in a nonlinear micro-ring resonator for birefringence-based sensing applications

We propose a new concept of birefringence-based sensing using entangled-photon timing-walk-off compensation. Four-wave mixing within a micro-ring resonator is employed, which is introduced by the nonlinear Kerr effect. The two possible entangled photon pairs are randomly formed by using an external polarization control unit. Results obtained have shown that the entangled-photon walk-off state within the ring device can be compensated. This means that the changes in walk-off-state parameters can be measured in response to changes in the applied physical parameters. The experimentally determined relationship between temperature and the entangled-photon walk-off parameter is seen to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The potential of using the proposed system for the development of birefringence-based sensing systems is discussed.     

Noise squeezing in a nanomechanical Duffing resonator

We study mechanical amplification and noise squeezing in a nonlinear nanomechanical resonator driven by an intense pump near its dynamical bifurcation point, namely, the onset of Duffing bistability. Phase sensitive amplification is achieved by a homodyne detection scheme, where the displacement detector's output, which has a correlated spectrum around the pump frequency, is down-converted by mixing with a local oscillator operating at the pump frequency with an adjustable phase. The down-converted signal at the mixer's output could be either amplified or deamplified, yielding noise squeezing, depending on the local oscillator phase.

T in a model of a nonlinear optical resonator

Oscillations characterized by three incommensurate frequencies (three-dimensional torus of T³) appear in a model of a nonlinear optical resonator driven by a laser beam with transversally inhomogeneous identity distribution. Destruction of T³ leading to chaos occurs when a combination harmonic of two frequencies grows suddenly in the vicinity of the third frequency (and vice versa).

Switchable microwave photonic filter using a phase modulator and a silicon-on-insulator micro-ring resonator

A switchable microwave photonic filter(MPF) using a phase modulator(PM) and a silicon-on-insulator microring resonator(MRR) is proposed and demonstrated. By adjusting the polarization controller between the PM and the MRR, the filtering function of the MPF can be switched between a band-stop filter and a band-pass filter. In a proof-of-concept experiment, an MPF with a rejection ratio of 30 dB(or 15 dB) for the band-stop(or band-pass) response and a frequency tuning range from 9.6 to 20.5 GHz is achieved.     

Higher-order amplitude squeezing of photons propagating through a semiconductor

Kth power photon amplitude squeezing is studied when the coherent photon propagates through a semiconductor containing the exciton. If the exciton is prepared initially in a coherent state, the photon may become Kth power amplitude squeezed. It is shown that, in the short-time limit, the photon squeezing in the P direction does not appear at all while that in the X direction is possible for all the amplitude powers K. In the latter case, the amount of squeezing is larger for higher power K. The dependences on all the system parameters as well as on the output light detection moment are investigated in detail.

基于Add-drop型微环谐振腔的硅基高速电光调制器设计

相比于传统的All-pass型微环谐振腔硅基电光调制器, Add-drop型微环谐振腔可提供更多的设计自由度, 使调制器在不改变杂质掺杂浓度的情况下就能在调制带宽和消光比性能上获得均衡考虑. 本文设计了基于Add-drop型微环谐振腔的高速、且在低调制电压下实现大消光比的硅基电光调制器, 所用微环谐振腔的半径仅仅为20 μm. 重点分析了直波导与微环谐振腔的耦合对调制器性能的影响, 发现较小的Drop端耦合系数有利于消光比的提高, 但是不能同时达到最佳的调制带宽, 因此设计上存在一个带宽和消光比性能上的折中考虑. 根据优化设计的结果进行了实际器件的制作和测试. 静态光谱测试表明, 在3 V反向偏置电压的作用下, 调制器的消光比最大可达12 dB. 动态电光响应测试中, 在仅仅1.2 V的信号幅值电压下测得了8 Gbps数据传输速率的清晰眼图. 关键词： 电光调制器 绝缘体上的硅 微环谐振腔 载流子色散效应     

Bistability and steady-state spin squeezing in diamond nanostructures controlled by a nanomechanical resonator

As the quantum states of nitrogen vacancy (NV) center can be coherently manipulated and obtained at room temperature, it is important to generate steady-state spin squeezing in spin qubits associated with NV impurities in diamond. With this task we consider a new type of a hybrid magneto-nano-electromechanical resonator, the functionality of which is based on a magnetic-field induced deflection of an appropriate cantilever that oscillates between NV spins in diamond. We show that there is bistability and spin squeezing state due to the presence of the microwave field, despite the damping from mechanical damping. Moreover, we find that bistability and spin squeezing can be controlled by the microwave field and the parameter V_z$V_z$. Our scheme may have the potential application on spin clocks, magnetometers, and other measurements based on spin–spin system in diamond nanostructures.     

Phase patterns in a nonlinear ring resonator

The processes of the formation of phase spatial structures (patterns) in the cross section of a light wave in a passive nonlinear ring resonator are considered. Analytical and numerical calculations are performed. The potential to form roll- and hexagon-type phase patterns, which are the product of competitive dynamics of nonlinear modes in a resonator, and more complex phase patterns associated with cooperative dynamics of nonlinear modes is demonstrated by numerical modeling.     

Longitudinal structure formation in a nonlinear resonator

A fiber ring resonator, synchronously driven by picosecond pulses, exhibits a spatiotemporal instability. A rapid modulation in the pulse envelope is spontaneously formed and evolves dynamically. This structure may be called one-dimensional optical turbulence. Single-shot detection of these structures is not viable. We report how to obtain experimental information which, when combined with numerical simulation, provides an adequate picture of the processes at work. Intrapulse correlations are studied; they reveal clear differences between dispersion of either sign. Also, they reveal the formation of soliton-like structures in the turbulent regime. A criterion is given that allows the prediction of the degree of complexity.
