We have demonstrated the realization of the low loss power splitters with the splitting ratio of 4:6 and 2:8. The measured results for the fabricated devices show that, for both 4:6 and 2:8 devices, loss less than 1.5 dB and splitting ratio variation less than 10% are achieved within a broad optical bandwidth from \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$1.26~mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000m to \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$1.6~mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000m.","PeriodicalId":13065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Technology Letters","volume":"37 3","pages":"137-140"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142905820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By adopting the beam splitter, photo-diode, electronic processing unit and tunable attenuator, nonlinear activation function ReLU which is widely used in the state of the art neural networks can be implemented in an optoelectronic way. Compared with other optical and optoelectronic implementations of nonlinear activation function, this method has advantages in expanses and complexity. This method also has potential to be applied into multiple types of optical neural networks to further increase the prediction accuracy.","PeriodicalId":13065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Technology Letters","volume":"37 2","pages":"109-112"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, in the Fabry-Perot interferometer, this phenomenon is related to the free spectral range (FSR) of the fringes. Additionally, spectral features such as wavelength and amplitude of fringe peaks usually present nonlinear relationships with the target physical variable, in this case temperature. Here, it is shown that by using a random forest (RF) regression it is possible to overcome several FSR ambiguities, to widen the measurement range by a factor of 8 from 5.2 to 49.6 °C, with a RMSE of 0.04554 °C and a MAE of 0.0317 °C.","PeriodicalId":13065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Technology Letters","volume":"37 2","pages":"101-104"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analysis of ESD-induced failures in AlGaInAs/InP-based DFB semiconductor lasers reveals that the primary degradation mechanism is optical absorption in the active layer at the laser facet. XPS results demonstrate that device failures caused by ESD can be effectively mitigated through surface cleaning and passivation, with this effect attributed to a reduction in non-radiative recombination at the facet.","PeriodicalId":13065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Technology Letters","volume":"37 3","pages":"129-132"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142905833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
