MD2.2 - SILICON NITRIDE BRAGG GRATING WITH JOULE THERMAL TUNING FOR EXTERNAL CAVITY LASERS
Abstract
Abstract
The paper presents a fabrication platform based on silicon nitride embedded in silica on silicon wafers. Long Bragg gratings were fabricated for narrow linewidth lasers. On these laser we obtained a continuous tuning range of 0.16 nm and a discontinuous tuning range of 1.5 nm.
MD2.3 - CMOS COMPATIBLE OPTICAL ISOLATOR WITH TANDEM RING MODULATORS
Abstract
Abstract
Integrated optical isolators have relied on bonded magnetic materials for isolation > 30dB. However, such materials are incompatible with CMOS processes. We propose a tandem ring modulators to achieve high-isolation and a small footprint. It uses plasma dispersion effect, thus achieving low-insertion loss and high-speed modulation.

Abstract
Abstract
Co-integrated neuromorphic photonic and electronic processors promise orders of magnitude improvements in both speed and energy efficiency over purely digital electronic approaches. We discuss neuromorphic photonic systems and their application to deep convolutional neural networks inference.
