The photonic neural processing unit (PNPU) demonstrates ultrahigh inference speed with low energy consumption, and it has become a promising hardware artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator. However, the nonidealities of the photonic device and the peripheral circuit make the practical application much more complex. Rather than optimizing the photonic device, the architecture, and the algorithm individually, a joint device-architecture-algorithm codesign method is proposed to improve the accuracy, efficiency and robustness of the PNPU. First, a full-flow simulator for the PNPU is developed from the back end simulator to the high-level training framework; Second, the full system architecture and the complete photonic chip design enable the simulator to closely model the real system; Third, the nonidealities of the photonic chip are evaluated for the PNPU design.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a long-range chaotic Brillouin optical correlation domain analysis by employing an optimized time-gated scheme and differential denoising configuration, where the number of effective resolving points largely increases to more than one million. The deterioration of the chaotic Brillouin gain spectrum (BGS) and limitation of sensing range owing to the intrinsic noise structure, resulting from the time delay signature (TDS) and nonzero background of chaotic laser, is theoretically analyzed. The optimized time-gated scheme with a higher extinction ratio is used to eliminate the TDS-induced impact. The signal-to-background ratio of the measured BGS is enhanced by the differential denoising scheme to furthest remove the accumulated nonzero noise floor along the fiber, and the pure chaotic BGS is ulteriorly obtained by the Lorentz fit. Ultimately, distributed strain sensing along a 27.54-km fiber with a 2.69-cm spatial resolution is experimentally demonstrated, and the number of effective resolving points is more than 1,020,000.","PeriodicalId":223078,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Photonics Nexus","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114648338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A phase-only method is proposed to transform an optical vortex field into desired spiral diffraction–interference patterns. Double-ring phase apertures are designed to produce a concentric high-order vortex beam and a zeroth-order vortex beam, and the diffracted intensity ratio of two beams is adjustable between 0 and 1. The coherent superposition of the two diffracted beams generates a brighter Airy spot (or Poisson spot) in the middle of the spiral pattern, where the singularity for typical vortex beam is located. Experiments employing circular, triangular, and rectangular phase apertures with topological charges from 3 to 16 demonstrate a stable, compact, and flexible apparatus for vortex beam conversion. By adjusting the parameters of the phase aperture, the proposed method can realize the optical Gaussian tweezer function and the optical vortex tweezer function simultaneously along the same axis or switch the experimental setup between the two functions. It also has potential applications in light communication through turbulent air by transmitting an orbital angular momentum-coded signal with a concentric beacon laser.","PeriodicalId":223078,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Photonics Nexus","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131482970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes, carrying the orbital angular momentum of light, are critical for important applications, such as high-capacity optical communications, superresolution imaging, and multidimensional quantum entanglement.

Here, we experimentally demonstrate highly efficient, highly pure, broadly tunable, and topological-charge-controllable LG modes from a Janus optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The Janus OPO featuring a two-faced cavity mode is designed to guarantee an efficient evolution from a Gaussian-shaped fundamental pump mode to a desired LG parametric mode. The output LG mode has a tunable wavelength between 1.5 and 1.6 μm with a conversion efficiency >15 % , a controllable topological charge up to 4, and a mode purity as high as 97%, which provides a high-performance solid-state light source for high-end demands in multidimensional multiplexing/demultiplexing, control of spin-orbital coupling between light and atoms, and so on.","PeriodicalId":223078,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Photonics Nexus","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130877043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The statistical dynamics of partially incoherent ultrafast lasers are complex and chaotic, which is significant for fundamental research and practical applications. We experimentally and theoretically reveal the statistical dynamics of the spectral evolutions and correlations in an incoherent noise-like rectangle pulse laser (NLRPL). Based on statistical histogram analysis, the probability distribution asymmetry of the spectral intensity fluctuation is decayed with the wavelength far away from the spectral peak due to the detection noise. The full-spectral correlation values indicate that the spectral similarity between two round trips is exponentially weakened as the round-trip offset increases. By studying the correlation map of spectral components, we find that the area of the high-correlation region is relevant to the pump power, which is reduced by increasing the pump power. The mutual information of the spectra demonstrates that two spectral components with symmetry about the spectral peak have a statistical dependence. Experimental observations and statistical properties can coincide well with theoretical numerical simulations. We reveal the pump-dependent spectral correlation of the NLRPL and provide multiple statistical methods for the characterizations of chaotic dynamics in incoherent light sources.","PeriodicalId":223078,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Photonics Nexus","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131551464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The AlGaN/GaN p–n junction has received extensive attention due to its capability of rapid photogenerated carrier separation in photodetection devices. The AlGaN/GaN heterojunction nanowires (NWs) have been especially endowed with new life for distinctive transport characteristics in the photoelectrochemical (PEC) detection field. A self-powered PEC ultraviolet photodetector (PEC UV PD) based on the p-AlGaN/n-GaN heterojunction NW is reported in this work. The n-GaN NW layer plays a crucial role as a current flow hub to regulate carrier transport, which mainly acts as a light absorber under 365 nm and carrier recombination layer under 255 nm illumination, which can effectively modulate photoresponsivity at different wavelengths. Furthermore, by designing the thicknesses of the NW layer, the photocurrent polarity reversal was successfully achieved in the constructed AlGaN/GaN NW PEC UV PD at two different light wavelengths. In addition, by combining with platinum decoration, the photoresponse performance could be further enhanced. Our work provides insight into transport mechanisms in the AlGaN/GaN NW PEC system, and offers a feasible and comprehensive strategy for further exploration of multifunctional optoelectronic devices.","PeriodicalId":223078,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Photonics Nexus","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132099184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
