These applications require compact, high-speed, and energy-efficient coherent transceivers. We present an ultra-compact, all-silicon I/Q modulator operating in the O-band, specifically designed for coherent interconnects. The modulator leverages microring-assisted Mach-Zehnder modulators (MRA-MZMs) in a single-drive push-pull configuration, ensuring low-chirp modulation as well as precise electrical phase matching in the push-pull operation. We demonstrate a 6-dB electro-optical bandwidth of 54 GHz and achieve QPSK modulation at speeds up to 120 Gbaud, resulting in a net bit rate of 200 Gbps per wavelength and polarization. With its compact design, the modulator achieves a bandwidth density of 2 Tbps/mm. Furthermore, its versatile architecture supports wavelength division multiplexing and dual-polarization, enabling further capacity expansion.","PeriodicalId":13094,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics","volume":"31 3: AI/ML Integrated Opto-electronics","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a recently introduced structure of Josephson junctions array called Blochnium (N series Quarton structure) is utilized as a parametric amplifier. We begin by theoretical deriving the system's Lagrangian, quantum Hamiltonian, and then analyze the dynamics using the quantum Langevin equation. By transforming these equations into the Fourier domain and employing the input-output formalism, leading metric indicators of the parametric amplifier become calculated. The new proposed design offers significant advantages over traditional designs due to its ability to manipulate nonlinearity. This premier feature enhances the compression point (P<sub>1dB</sub>) of the amplifier dramatically, and also provides its tunability across a broad band. The enhanced linearity, essential for quantum applications, is achieved through effective nonlinearity management, which is theoretically derived. Also, the ability to sweep the C-band without significant spectral overlap is crucial for frequency multiplexing in scalable quantum systems. Simulation results show that Blochnium parametric amplifiers can reach to a signal gain around 25 dB with a compression point better than of −92 dBm. Therefore, our proposed parametric amplifier, with its superior degree of freedom, surpasses traditional designs like arrays of Josephson junctions, making it a highly promising candidate for advanced quantum computing applications.","PeriodicalId":13094,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics","volume":"31 5: Quantum Materials and Quantum Devices","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to develop a classification model for young children with DLD based on their brain function signals. Children aged 3.0 to 7.0 years participated in this study, including 21 children with DLD and 43 controls. All participants completed functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) tasks designed to assess word expression ability (report task) and word comprehension ability (point task). General linear model (GLM) analysis was conducted to compare activation differences across fNIRS channels between the two groups. For DLD classification, a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was applied to hemoglobin oxygenation (HbO) signals from three regions of interest (ROIs), which included the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus (encompassing Broca's area), the bilateral temporo-parietal junction (encompassing Wernicke's area), and the bilateral motor cortex. Using HbO signal features the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus during the word expression task, the CNN model achieved a validation F1 score of 72.89%. Similarly, using HbO signal features from from the bilateral temporo-parietal junction during the word comprehension task, the CNN model achieved a validation F1 score of 71.81%. Additionally, children with DLD showed atypical activation in the right temporo-parietal junction area and left inferior frontal gyrus during both tasks.

The arrangement of pixels imitated the distribution of cone and rod cells, and the photosensitivity of these two different cells to the incident photons was altered by adjusting parameters such as linewidth, polarization, photosensitive area, and bias current. This design significantly enhances the overall dynamic range of the device, facilitating a linear response to incident photon flux ranging from 10\u0000<sup>3</sup>\u0000 photons/s to 1.16×10\u0000<sup>14</sup>\u0000 photons/s, and the dynamic range is 110.64 dB.

Recent advances have introduced directional emission IR LEDs, which offer superior control over light direction, enhance efficiency, and broaden application scopes. Despite the potential of GeSn-based LEDs for short-wave infrared (SWIR) and mid-wave infrared (MIR) applications due to their CMOS compatibility and direct bandgap, these devices suffer from low directionality and light extraction efficiency. This study proposes a novel approach by integrating a dielectric metasurface with GeSn MQW LEDs to achieve directional light emission. We numerically demonstrate that this integration reduces the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) angle of the far-field emission from 60 to 10 degrees and enhances the emission intensity by a factor of 26 at normal incidence.

Our findings demonstrate a reasonable overlap of the new approaches as compared to the standard one, with confined discrepancies potentially linked to a not established agreement in the scientific community on the exact value of extinction coefficients of tissue constituents beyond 1000 nm, as well as to an increased penetration depth in the tissue at 1064 nm due to a lower scattering coefficient as compared to the visible range.
