However, mass transport deformation in InP-based materials can challenge the integrity and uniformity of conventional encapsulated air void photonic crystals. To overcome this, we fabricate buried dielectric PCSELs designed to preserve the photonic crystal structure during regrowth and enhance reliability under high-power and high-current-density operation.

The TianQin space gravitational wave detection Program uses star tracker (STR) and a charge coupled device (CCD)/ quadrant photodiode (QPD) to complete the construction of a bidirectional satellite laser link to achieve high-precision laser acquisition and tracking control. In order to solve the problem of the initial acquisition uncertainty cone being too large, the coordinate transformation matrix principle is applied to complete the STR line-of-sight calibration, so as to reduce the size of the acquisition uncertainty cone. The probability density distribution function of the uncertainty cone and the size of the uncertainty cone were determined based on the Monte Carlo simulation method. The average scanning acquisition time simulation calculation is completed based on the spiral scanning principle. The simulation results show that the size of the acquisition uncertainty cone after STR line-of-sight calibration is reduced by 73.24% compared with the original acquisition uncertainty cone, and the scanning acquisition time is reduced by 92.8% compared with the original scanning acquisition time.","PeriodicalId":13204,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Journal","volume":"17 3","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10965890","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143937954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects individuals throughout their lives, and its diagnosis allows access to treatments that improve their prognosis. Saliva analysis by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), which was not previously reported, appears to be a promising diagnostic tool for ASD. This study acquired spectra from samples of 19 ASD and 19 control children. Spectral signatures suggest the dominance of protein secondary structures, β-pleated sheet and α-helix structures in ASD and control children, respectively. Support Vector Machine (SVM) gave the best diagnosis, with sensitivity, precision, and specificity being 92%, 94%, and 95%, respectively.

Silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) modulators present a promising solution due to the favorable electro-optic coefficients and fast response times of EO organic materials. However, the waveguide's nature limits the effective interaction between photons and EO materials. Although this interaction can be enhanced by utilizing advanced structures such as slot waveguides and slow-light techniques, new challenges arise, including strong dispersion that compromises bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a novel low-dispersion, slow-light waveguide structure based on a coupled one-dimensional photonic crystal slot resonator waveguide (coupled 1D PC SROW). By cascading multiple coupled resonators, the structure creates a low-dispersion, slow-light region within the photonic bandgap. Combining the strong optical field confinement of the slot with the slow-light enhancement in the time domain, modulation efficiency, quantified by <italic>V_πL</i>, can be significantly improved. As an example, we demonstrate that a <italic>V_πL</i> of 0.57 Vmm can be achieved for a low-dispersion wavelength range of 2.55 nm. The improvement in modulation efficiency allows for a reduction in the phase shifter length to 119 μm, overcoming the bandwidth limitations imposed by spatial walk-off between the electrical and optical waves and enabling a bandwidth of 108 GHz, a value challenging for conventional approaches. This study presents a viable alternative for realizing compact, ultra-broadband, and energy-efficient optical modulators.","PeriodicalId":13204,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Journal","volume":"17 3","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10964245","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An offset quantum-well laser is flipped and bonded into the pre-set cavity of the passive chip. The light emitted from the laser propagates through a taper into the passive chip. The proposed scheme utilizes only the existing processes, eliminating the need for additional process development. Furthermore, it preserves the performance of the laser while providing high tolerance. Simulations indicate that the coupling tolerance for 90% coupling efficiency is approximately ±1.5 μm in the lateral direction with the longitudinal tolerance exceeding 20 μm. The coupling efficiency remains stable across the O-band.

We report on the design, fabrication, and characterization of the static properties of 980 nm MHCG VCSELs and compare their performance to that of conventional double distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) VCSELs of comparable design. To increase the MHCG's optical power reflectance at 980 nm and the width of the optical stopband for single-mode behavior and improved energy efficiency, we add a 5.5-period p-doped DBR beneath the MHCG grating, thus forming a composite DBR plus MHCG top coupling mirror. With such a low number of supporting DBR mirror pairs, the MHCG characteristic dominates the output performance of the resulting devices. Our systematic study includes a variation of the grating period <inline-formula><tex-math>$P$</tex-math></inline-formula>, the grating fill factor <inline-formula><tex-math>$F$</tex-math></inline-formula>, and the oxide aperture diameter <inline-formula><tex-math>$phi$</tex-math></inline-formula>. We report record static light output power-current-voltage (LIV) performance for our MHCG DBR VCSELs with threshold currents as low as 0.25 mA, wallplug efficiencies of 8%, optical output powers exceeding 1.6 mW, and stable linearly polarized emission with orthogonal polarization suppression ratios <inline-formula><tex-math>$&gt;33$</tex-math></inline-formula> dB. By varying the grating designs, record current-induced wavelength tuning ranges up to 13.4 nm and single mode emission with a side-mode suppression ratio of up to 46 dB, and <inline-formula><tex-math>$&gt;40$</tex-math></inline-formula> dB even beyond thermal rollover, are achieved. Moreover, the MHCG DBR VCSELs feature excellent thermal properties with thermal resistance of only 2.46 K/mW, and we observe grating design dependent side mode suppression behavior; from normal oxide aperture diameter dependent number of side modes up to oxide aperture diameter independent single mode emission up to 9 <inline-formula><tex-math>$mu$</tex-math></inline-formula>m oxide aperture diameter. Overall, our study demonstrates that MHCGs, as a key source of optical power reflectance, can be strategically designed to tailor a VCSEL's output characteristics. By varying the MHCG geometry, we can produce side-by-side VCSELs (on the same epitaxial wafer) with vastly different emission and performance properties. By supporting a broader range of resonance wavelengths and enabling post-growth wavelength tuning, MHCG-based DBR VCSELs offer significant potential for applications in 2D VCSEL arrays, data transmission, sensing, and imaging.","PeriodicalId":13204,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Journal","volume":"17 3","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10960519","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143883348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The approach is based on an electrical mixer and a Dual-Drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) where carrier suppressed double-sideband (CS-DSB) modulation is held for mmW signal generation after photodetection. The viability of the approach is demonstrated by transmitting 5G orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals with quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) across a 3 m long radio link as well as 10 km of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) link in the 40 GHz mmW band. We assessed the system performance by evaluating the error-vector-magnitude (EVM), also focusing on the received optical and electrical power (RoP and ReP, respectively), with minimum EVM of 2.8% for maximum RoP, while the full link leads to 3.4% in this condition. Moreover, the maximum transmission throughput of the system for full link scenario reached 692 Mb/s and 1800 Mb/s for 5G OFDM and single carrier signals, respectively.
