Article Abstract

We demonstrate monolithic integration of a wavelength division multiplexed light source for silicon photonics by a cascade of erbium-doped aluminum oxide (AlO:Er) distributed feedback (DFB) lasers. Four DFB lasers with uniformly spaced emission wavelengths are cascaded in a series to simultaneously operate with no additional tuning required. A total output power of -10.9  dBm is obtained from the four DFBs with an average side mode suppression ratio of 38.1±2.5  dB. We characterize the temperature-dependent wavelength shift of the cascaded DFBs and observe a uniform dλ/dT of 0.02 nm/°C across all four lasers.

Infrared photodetectors are crucial for autonomous driving, providing reliable object detection under challenging lighting conditions. However, conventional silicon-based devices are limited in their responsivity beyond 1100 nm. Here, a scallop-structured silicon photodetector integrated with tin-substituted perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) that effectively extends infrared detection is demonstrated.

Optical-enabled identification and interaction provide an integral link between the digital and physical realms. However, nowadays optic-encodings, predominantly reliant on light's intensity and wavelength, are hindered by environmental light interference and limited information capacity. The introduction of unusual polarization states, such as circular polarization-which is absent from ordinary surroundings-holds promise for higher-dimensional interaction.

Actin cytoskeleton alteration and cell homing/migration are crucial determinants for the success of stem cell (SC) based therapy. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a promising non-pharmacological approach for modulating SC potency. Though ~660 nm is the most studied wavelength for the proliferation/differentiation of SCs, the migration and cytoskeleton remodeling aspects have not been investigated in detail.

Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) prolongation occurs due to coagulation factor deficiencies/inhibitors, lupus anticoagulant (LA), and anticoagulant-taking, necessitating discrimination through further testing. Clot waveform analysis (CWA) can discriminate causes while measuring APTT, but conventional CWA exhibits moderate accuracy due to visual judgement and limited parameter use. We applied deep learning (DL) techniques to huge numerical data constituting clot waveforms and their first- and second-derivative curves (CWA curves) to leverage hidden features for developing an accurate classification model.

The high extinction ratio mode (de)multiplexer is a pivotal component in high capacity mode-division multiplexing data communication and nascent on-chip intermodal acousto-optic modulators. Up to now, high performance on-chip mode (de)multiplexers are still lacking for integrated AOMs on the lithium niobate-on-insulator platform. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate an innovative scheme to achieve high extinction ratio signal routing for acousto-optic modulation, by leveraging a two-mode (de)multiplexer in conjunction with a high- racetrack microring resonator.
