Few-photon routing via chiral light-matter couplings

A quantum router is one of the essential elements in the quantum network. Conventional routers only direct a single photon from one quantum channel into another. Here, we propose a few-photon router. The active element of the router is a single qubit chirally coupled to two independent waveguides simultaneously, where each waveguide mode provides a quantum channel. By introducing the operators of the scatter-free space and the controllable space, the output state of the one-photon and two-photon scattering are derived analytically. It is found that the qubit can direct one and two photons from one port of the incident waveguide to an arbitrarily selected port of the other waveguide with unity, respectively. However, two photons cannot be simultaneously routed to the same port due to the anti-bunch effect.     

Spectral selectivity of radiation-and tunnel-coupled waveguide structures

The spectral transmission profile of systems of radiation-and tunnel-coupled waveguides is studied. It is determined how a smooth variation of the thickness of the buffer layer in a structure consisting of a pair of tunnel-coupled waveguides with strongly varying parameters will affect the spectral properties of the system as a whole. A simple physical treatment of the operation of a number of integrated and fiber-optic devices is given, and the prospects for using the proposed structure of two tunnel-coupled waveguides to realize a microlaser with waveguide output is demonstrated.

Parameter optimization and structural design of polymer arrayed waveguide grating multiplexer

First some important parameters are optimized for the structural design of a polymer arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer around the central wavelength of 1.55 μm with the wavelength spacing of 1.6 nm. These parameters include the thickness and width of the guide core, mode effective refractive indices and group refractive index, diffraction order, pitch of adjacent waveguides, length difference of adjacent arrayed waveguides, focal length of slab waveguides, free spectral range (FSR), the number of input/output (I/O) channels, and that of arrayed waveguides. Then the bent angles, radii and lengths of all the input/output channels and arrayed waveguides are determined. Finally, a schematic waveguide layout of this device is presented, which contains 2 slabs, 11 input channels, 11 output channels, and 91 arrayed waveguides.

Flexible Control of Light Propagation Using a Novel Photonic Crystal Hetero-Waveguide Based on Silicon-on-Insulator Slab

We demonstrate a photonic crystal hetero-waveguide based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) slab, consisting of two serially connected width-reduced photonic crystal waveguides with different radii of the air holes adjacent to the waveguide. We show theoretically that the transmission window of the structure corresponds to the transmission range common to both waveguides and it is in inverse proportion to the discrepancy between the two waveguides. Also the group velocity of guided mode can be changed from low to high or high to low, depending on which port of the structure the signal is input from just in the same device, and the variation is proportional to the discrepancy between the two waveguides. Using this novel structure, we realize flexible control of transmission window and group velocity of guided mode simultaneously.

We demonstrate a metal-cavity surface-emitting microlaser at room temperature using hybrid metal/distributed Bragg reflectors as well as substrate removal. Our devices operate under continuous-wave current injection at room temperature. The smallest laser is 1.0 μm in radius and ~4.0 μm in height with a circular beam shape and an output over 8 μW. The device lases at 995 nm wavelength with a threshold current of about 2.6 mA.     

Parametric amplification of light waves at low-frequency pumping in aperiodic nonlinear photonic crystals

A theory of monochromatic light propagation in a fiber amplifier is developed. It is shown that competition between coherent gain-guided modes is qualitatively different from interaction between incoherent beams. Spatial beating between modes limits the gain of the mode with lower input power even if the corresponding modal gain coefficient is higher. Depending on the input beam parameters, the amplifier output can be dominated by either a single guided mode or their combination. The theory is illustrated by analyzing the gain behavior of a single planar waveguide and arrays of two and three narrow planar waveguides.

Modeling of grating assisted standing wave,microresonators for filter applications in integrated optics

A wide, multimode segment of a dielectric optical waveguide, enclosed by Bragg reflectors and evanescently coupled to adjacent port waveguides, can constitute the cavity in an integrated optical microresonator. It turns out that the device can be described adequately in terms of an approximate coupled mode theory model which involves only a few guided modes as basis fields. By reasoning along the coupled mode model, we motivate a simple design strategy for the resonator device. Rigorous two dimensional mode expansion simulations are applied to verify the predictions of the approximate model. The results exemplify the specific spectral response of the standing wave resonators. As refinements we discuss the single resonance of a device with nonsymmetrically detuned Bragg reflectors, and the cascading of two Fabry–Perot cavities, where the coupling across an intermediate shorter grating region establishes a power transfer characteristic that is suitable for an add-drop filter.     

Optical bistability in GaInAsP/InP coupled-circular resonator microlasers

Optical bistability is realized in GaInAsP/InP coupled-circular resonator microlasers, which are fabricated by planar technology. For a coupled-circular resonator microlaser with the radius of 20?μm and a 2?μm-wide bus waveguide, hysteresis loops are observed for the output power coupling into an optical fiber versus the cw injection current at room temperature. The laser output spectra of the upper and lower states of the hysteresis loop indicate that the bistability is related to mode competitions. The optical bistability can be explained as the mode competition between the symmetry and antisymmetry coupled modes relative to the bus waveguide.     

Power splitter based on cascaded multimode photonic crystal waveguides with triangular lattice of air holes

We propose a power splitter based on two-dimensional photonic crystals with triangular lattice of air holes. The structure can be divided into three sections consisting of the input waveguide, area-defect regions, and output waveguides. The operational principle of the splitter is that an incident field in the frequency range of interest is split into a twofold mode pattern with small distance in the first area-defect and then one of which is shifted by the secondary area-defect regions to output port. We optimize the size of area-defects for the mode-splitting and the shifting from the numerical analysis of distribution of time-averaged Poynting vectors by a finite-difference time domain method. And the transmittance over 45% per each output with a bandwidth about 0.06a/λ is achieved.

Low-loss germanium strip waveguides on silicon for the mid-infrared

Mid-infrared photonics in silicon needs low-loss integrated waveguides. While monocrystalline germanium waveguides on silicon have been proposed, experimental realization has not been reported. Here we demonstrate a germanium strip waveguide on a silicon substrate. It is designed for single mode transmission of light in transverse magnetic (TM) polarization generated from quantum cascade lasers at a wavelength of 5.8 μm. The propagation losses were measured with the Fabry-Perot resonance method. The lowest achieved propagation loss is 2.5 dB/cm, while the bending loss is measured to be 0.12 dB for a 90° bend with a radius of 115 μm.
