We have achieved the design, fabrication and packaging of microfluidic networks with photonic sensors for novel labon-chip platforms which incorporate the on-chip biosensing detection. As sensors, we used an integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based on TIR waveguides (Si/SiO2/Si3N4) of micro/nanodimensions for evanescent field detection of biomolecular interactions onto the sensing are...

One promising technique for working toward practical photonic quantum technologies is to implement multiple operations on a monolithic chip, thereby improving stability, scalability and miniaturization. The on-chip spatial control of entangled photons will certainly benefit numerous applications, including quantum imaging, quantum lithography, quantum metrology and quantum computation. However,...

The design of recent Systems-on-Chip (SoC) for a large scope of applications, such as telecom and multi-media domains, and in various platform types ranging from dedicated platforms to fully programmable platforms, is mainly constrained by communications. Networks-on-Chip (NoC) have recently emerged as a promising concept to support communication on SoCs providing a solution to connect differen...

We propose a scalable architecture for a quantum network based on a simple on-chip photonic circuit that performs loss-tolerant two-qubit measurements. The circuit consists of two quantum emitters positioned in the arms of an on-chip Mach-Zehnder interferometer composed of waveguides with chiral-light-matter interfaces. The efficient chiral-light-matter interaction allows the emitters to perfor...

Large-scale photonic integration circuits (PICs) have been demonstrated on InP [1] and Si [2–5] substrates for data communications. Silicon PICs 3D integrated with electronic integrated circuits promise future high-speed and cost-effective optical interconnects to enable Exascale performance computers and datacenters [5]. For realistic intra-chip and inter-chip optical links, the bandwidth dens...

Optical communications and computing require on-chip nonreciprocal light propagation to isolate and stabilize different chip-scale optical components. We have designed and fabricated a metallic-silicon waveguide system in which the optical potential is modulated along the length of the waveguide such that nonreciprocal light propagation is obtained on a silicon photonic chip. Nonreciprocal ligh...

Entanglement--one of the most delicate phenomena in nature--is an essential resource for quantum information applications. Scalable photonic quantum devices must generate and control qubit entanglement on-chip, where quantum information is naturally encoded in photon path. Here we report a silicon photonic chip that uses resonant-enhanced photon-pair sources, spectral demultiplexers and reconfi...
