Article Abstract
Compact routing of multimode bus waveguides is of great significance for on-chip mode-division multiplexing (MDM) systems to realize high integration density and flexible layout. In this Letter, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel, to the best of our knowledge, multimode photonic jumper (MPJ) on a standard silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform. It enables an ultra-compact connection between two parallel multimode waveguides (MWGs) with an arbitrary displacement. As a proof of concept, we describe two MPJs with displacements of 5.9 µm and 0.6 µm, each supporting three modes and featuring a longitudinal distance of around 14 µm. For both MPJs, the experimental results show insertion losses (ILs) below 0.086 dB and inter-modal cross talk (CT) below -17.6 dB over the wide wavelength range of 1525-1600 nm for all three modes.

The field of computationally controlled light faces a strong demand for new platforms capable of providing adaptable light generation to meet the requirements of advanced photonic technologies. Here, we present the concept of computationally optimized nonlinear frequency conversion in programmable liquid-core fibers that enables real-time tunable and reconfigurable nonlinear power distribution through computationally optimized dispersion landscapes. The concept combines a temperature-sensitive mode in a liquid-core fiber, particle swarm optimization, fission of ultra-fast solitons, and a computer-controlled heating array to create a feedback loop for controlling output spectra via local temperature-induced dispersion modulation.

The tunable metalens enables selective excitation of the MMI from 11 input waveguides while maintaining a much more compact footprint than a conventional optical switch array. The artificially introduced edge defects facilitate the scrambling of the optical waves in the multimode region, which improves the resolution of the speckle spectrometer.

Multispectrum response technology is the key to developing multifunctional electromagnetic devices in cross-field applications. Traditional methods rely on integrating complex multi-material systems, leading to bulkier and costlier devices. Here, a hierarchical heterodimensional structure composed of FeNiHo alloy and carbon matrix achieves autonomous multispectrum-coupling electromagnetic response between microwave and ultraviolet through polar interface engineering.

Optical whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microresonators emerge as a frontrunner for precision measurement due to their high sensitivity and compact footprint. They have demonstrated superior capabilities in detecting a wide range of objects, spanning from variations in temperature, humidity, magnetic field, to local perturbations caused by viruses or nanoparticles. Traditional methods often rely on monitoring spectral changes in a single WGM resonance to extract the relevant information of sensing targets.

Nonlinear optics has become the workhorse for countless applications in classical and quantum optics, from optical bistability to single photon pair generation. However, the intrinsic weakness of optical nonlinearity and reciprocity of nonlinear interactions generally places stringent limits on the efficiency of nonlinear optical processes and their ability to be tailored for advanced applications in multimode systems. Here, motivated by recent advances in using non-Hermitian photonics and gain/loss engineering to enable non-reciprocal light transport, we explore how the interplay between non-Hermiticity and optical nonlinearity leads to a fundamentally new regime of nonlinear frequency conversion.
