Chalcogenide phase-change materials (PCMs) offer paradigms for programmable photonic integrated circuits thanks to their zero static energy and significant refractive index contrast. However, prototypical PCMs, such as Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 (GST), are lossy in their crystalline phase, albeit transparent in the amorphous state. Moreover, electrically switching PCMs to intermediate states is a stochastic process, limiting programming accuracy. As a result, achieving both low-loss and deterministic multilevel operations with GST remains challenging. Although low-loss PCMs, such as Sb 2 S 3 and Sb 2 Se 3 , have been discovered in recent years, they are much less technologically mature. We propose a design with multiple GST segments to overcome the challenge of deterministic multilevel operation. GST segments are individually controlled by interleaved silicon p++-doped-intrinsic-n+ +-doped diode heaters in a binary but reliable fashion, and multiple levels are encoded in their phase sequence. A 1 × 1 programmable unit with two unequal GST segments is experimentally demonstrated, showcasing four distinct operation levels and negligible thermal crosstalk with only one pair of metal contacts. We then extend the design to 1 × 2 and 2 × 2 programmable units. For the 2 × 2 programmable unit design, we propose a phase-detuned three-waveguide directional coupler structure to mitigate the absorption and radiation loss, showing < 1 . 2 dB loss and three splitting ratios. We provide a new path toward low-loss and multi-level optical switches using lossy PCMs.","PeriodicalId":485779,"journal":{"name":"Journal of optical microsystems","volume":"54 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141345507","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}

Co-packaged optics for high performance computing or other data center applications requires dense integration of silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with electronic integrated circuits (EICs). This work discusses the impact of three-dimensional (3D) hybrid integration on the thermal performance of Si ring-based photonic devices in wavelength-division multiplexing PICs. A thermal finite element model of the EIC-PIC assembly is developed and calibrated with thermo-optic device measurements, before and after integration of an electrical driver on top of the PIC by means of microbump flip-chip bonding. Both measurements and simulations of the thermal tuning efficiency and crosstalk between silicon photonic devices show that the EIC can have a significant impact on the thermal performance of the integrated heaters in the PIC by acting as an undesired heat spreader. This heat spreading lowers the heater efficiency with 43.3% and increases the thermal crosstalk between the devices by up to 44.4% compared with a PIC-only case. Finally, it is shown that these negative thermal effects of 3D integration can largely be mitigated by a thermally aware design of the microbump array and the back-end-of-line interconnect, guided by the calibrated thermal simulation model.","PeriodicalId":485779,"journal":{"name":"Journal of optical microsystems","volume":"80 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138596022","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}

We discuss the development of a prototype zero-field cesium portable OPM and its miniaturized components. Zero-field sensors operate in a very low static magnetic field environment and exploit physical effects in this regime. OPMs of this type are extremely sensitive to small magnetic fields, but they bring specific challenges to component design, material choice, and current routing. The miniaturized cesium atomic vapor cell within this sensor has been produced through integrated microfabrication techniques. The cell must be heated to 120°C for effective sensing, while the sensor external faces must be skin safe ≤40 ° C making it suitable for use in biomagnetic measurements. We demonstrate a heating system that results in a stable outer package temperature of 36°C after 1.5 h of 120°C cell heating. This relatively cool package temperature enables safe operation on human subjects which is particularly important in the use of multi-sensor arrays. Biplanar printed circuit board coils are presented that produce a reliable homogeneous field along three axes, compensating residual fields and occupying only a small volume within the sensor. The performance of the prototype portable sensor is characterized through a measured sensitivity of 90 fT / Hz in the 5 to 20 Hz frequency band and demonstrated through the measurement of a cardiac magnetic signal.","PeriodicalId":485779,"journal":{"name":"Journal of optical microsystems","volume":"59 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134901380","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}
