RESUMO
In order to address the high-power consummation issue of conventional multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) adaptive equalizer (AEQ) for short-reach coherent transmissions, several state-of-the-art low-complexity AEQs have been proposed. In our work, optimized adaptation algorithms for low-complexity real-valued (RV) AEQs with different structures are analyzed. Moreover, an approach to avoid introducing additional computational complexity due to the optimized adaptation process is presented here. The advantages of proposed optimized adaptation algorithms are experimentally demonstrated in a 25â Gbaud dual-polarization 16-quadrature-amplitude-modulation (DP-16QAM) back-to-back (BtB) intradyne system with an overall bandwidth of 14â GHz. Experimental results show that a similar performance as the conventional AEQ could be achieved by using proposed adaptation algorithms and reducing the number of multiplications with up to â¼65%.
RESUMO
Self-homodyne detection (SHD) is a promising approach to realize high-capacity short-reach optical transmission systems with low cost and low power consumption. We experimentally demonstrate single-carrier net 800-Gb/s SHD transmission with low-cost â¼MHz linewidth distributed feedback (DFB) laser over 2â km, 10â km, 25â km, and 40â km single-mode fiber (SMF) using three different quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) formats, including 80-Gbaud dual-polarization (DP) 64QAM, 100-Gbaud DP-32QAM, and 120-Gbaud DP-16QAM. Among them, net 800-Gb/s DP-64QAM SHD transmission over 25â km SMF using an uncooled DFB laser with a linewidth of 2.6â MHz is experimentally verified. The detailed experimental performance evaluation of net 800Gb/s SHD system is performed, in which various configurations are considered, such as different laser linewidths, three QAM formats, and different transmission distances. DFB lasers with linewidths of 1â MHz and 2.6â MHz lead to negligible penalty when compared to the same SHD system but using an external cavity laser (ECL) with a linewidth of 26kHz in back-to-back (BTB) case. 80-Gbaud DP-64QAM obtains the highest optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) requirement and the highest bit-error rate (BER) floor but the best tolerance of chromatic dispersion (CD). 120-Gbaud DP-16QAM achieves the lowest OSNR requirement and the lowest BER floor but the worst tolerance of CD. The detailed experimental investigation is conducive to promote the practical application of SHD in different short-reach scenarios.
RESUMO
Triple-cation mixed metal halide perovskites are important optoelectronic materials due to their high photon to electron conversion efficiency, low exciton binding energy, and good thermal stability. However, the perovskites have low photon to electron conversion efficiency in near-infrared (NIR) due to their weak intrinsic absorption at longer wavelength, especially near the band edge and over the bandgap wavelength. A plasmonic functionalized perovskite photodetector (PD) is designed and fabricated in this study, in which the perovskite ((Cs0.06 FA0.79 MA0.15 )Pb(I0.85 Br0.15 )3 ) active materials are spin-coated on the surface of Au bowtie nanoantenna (BNA) arrays substrate. Under 785 nm laser illumination, near the bandedge of perovskite, the fabricated BNA-based plasmonic PD exhibits ≈2962% enhancement in the photoresponse over the Si/SiO2 -based normal PD. Moreover, the detectivity of the plasmonic PD has a value of 1.5 × 1012 with external quantum efficiency as high as 188.8%, more than 30 times over the normal PD. The strong boosting in the plasmonic PD performance is attributed to the enhanced electric field around BNA arrays through the coupling of localized surface plasmon resonance. The demonstrated BNA-perovskite design can also be used to enhance performance of other optoelectronic devices, and the concept can be extended to other spectral regions with different active materials.
RESUMO
Nanostructure and nanoantenna-based all-optical (AO) devices have attracted significant research interests in recent years due to their small size, high information capacity, ultrafast processing, low power consumption, and overall practicality. Here, in this Letter, we propose a novel metasurface having quasi-rhombus-shaped antennas to modulate optical modes in a dielectric-loaded waveguide for the realization of a complete family of logic gates including NOT, AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, and XNOR. These logic operations are realized using destructive and constructive interferences between the input optical signals. The high contrast ratios of about 33.39, 27.69, and 33.11 dB are achieved for the NAND, NOR, and XNOR logic gates, respectively, with the speed as high as 108 Gb/s.
RESUMO
Metasurfaces can control the propagation of free space and guided modes by imparting a phase gradient and modifying the mode propagation properties. Here we propose a design to control optical signals in a dielectric-loaded waveguide using quasi-rhombus gradient plasmonic metasurface structure. The metasurface acts as a multimode interference coupler that can focus, route, and split the propagating field in UV-visible spectral range. The ability to gain full control on waveguided mode with minimal footprint can significantly impact miniaturization of optical devices and photonic integrated circuits.
RESUMO
Due to the rise of 5G, IoT, AI, and high-performance computing applications, datacenter traffic has grown at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 30%. Furthermore, nearly three-fourths of the datacenter traffic resides within datacenters. The conventional pluggable optics increases at a much slower rate than that of datacenter traffic. The gap between application requirements and the capability of conventional pluggable optics keeps increasing, a trend that is unsustainable. Co-packaged optics (CPO) is a disruptive approach to increasing the interconnecting bandwidth density and energy efficiency by dramatically shortening the electrical link length through advanced packaging and co-optimization of electronics and photonics. CPO is widely regarded as a promising solution for future datacenter interconnections, and silicon platform is the most promising platform for large-scale integration. Leading international companies (e.g., Intel, Broadcom and IBM) have heavily investigated in CPO technology, an inter-disciplinary research field that involves photonic devices, integrated circuits design, packaging, photonic device modeling, electronic-photonic co-simulation, applications, and standardization. This review aims to provide the readers a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art progress of CPO in silicon platform, identify the key challenges, and point out the potential solutions, hoping to encourage collaboration between different research fields to accelerate the development of CPO technology.
RESUMO
In nature, self-healing can be induced by sunlight for damage and wound repair, and this phenomenon is very important to living species for prolonging their lives. This self-repairing feature is obviously highly desirable for non-biological materials and manmade systems. In this paper, we demonstrate, for the first time, that battery electrodes can be self-repaired when exposed to sunlight. Here, we show that the optical, and photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties can be controlled by varying structural and compositional parameters of copper selenide nanocrystals (NCs). Cation to anion ratio in copper selenide (Cu2±xSe) NCs can be controlled over a wide range of 1.3-2.7 by simply changing the reaction temperature and impurity. Light-induced self-repairable behavior is demonstrated with electrochemical (EC) and PEC performances of electrodes made with stoichiometric copper selenide NCs. This nature-inspired, self-repairing behavior can be applied to batteries, supercapacitors, and photo-electrochemical fuel generators.
