Brillouin nonlinearities—which result from coupling between photons and acoustic phonons—are exceedingly weak in conventional nanophotonic silicon waveguides. Only recently have Brillouin interactions ...
Silicon photonics is known as a key technology for modern optical communications at the near infrared wavelength-band, i.e., 1.31/1.55 μm. Currently silicon photonics has been desired to be extended ...
The advent of big data era raising significant challenges in information processing, especially in the aspect of capacity and power consumption. Situations become even worse when we consider the fact ...
Skoltech researchers have developed an ultrathin carbon nanotube coating that absorbs terahertz radiation on silicon ...
Electrically passive optical sensors have been formed using optical waveguides and micromachined-micromechanical structures on silicon substrates. We present recent results on an interferometric ...
The challenges of implementing optical multiplexing in the terahertz band. A novel approach based on electro-optics, using silicon fabrication to create a four-channel multiplexer operating at 350 THz ...
As silicon photonics manufacturing gains momentum with additional foundry and 300mm offerings, process variation issues are coming to light. Variability in silicon processing affects the waveguide ...
