Passive fiber ring resonators synchronously pumped by cw trains of ultrashort pulses are shown to exhibit polarization symmetry breaking. Application of this feature to all-optical storage is considered. The proposed storage device operates in the flip-flop mode which makes possible all-optical writing and erasing operations on individual bits. Numerical simulations suggest that a storage capac...

Abstract Intensity Modulated (IM) optical communication over an LED channel requires the use of a non-negative signal that can also cope with low-pass nature LEDs. For this purpose, dedicated schemes such as Flip-OFDM and Assymetrically Clipped Optical (ACO)-OFDM have been proposed. We derive common mathematical description on which both rely. Exploiting insight, we propose Continuous Phase (CP...

Chip-on-board silicon photonics O-band wavelength-division multiplexing transceivers have been developed that will eventually enable high-throughput on-board optical communication for multi-socket communication. This direct, any-to-any configuration yields low-latency, low-power among multiple compute nodes on the board. Silicon photonic transceiver chips are flip-chipped a polymer waveguide co...

Two active Mach-Zehnder interferometers are integrated in a monolithic InP/InGaAsP photonic integrated circuit. Together they form a crucial component for optical signal processing: an optical memory element or set-reset flip-flop. The switching time for this initial device is approximately 200 ps. The photonic integrated circuit contains active and passive optical components, including electro...

The effect of optical illumination on DC and dynamic performance of Si1-xGex based double drift region (DDR) (p+pnn+) IMPATT diode operating at W-Band is investigated and compared with its Silicon counterpart. Top Mounted (TM) and Flip Chip (FC) structures are chosen and the composition of photocurrent is altered by shining light on the p+ side and n+ side of the device through optical windows....

Long-lived dark exciton states are formed in self-assembled quantum dots due to the combination of the angular momentum of electrons and holes. The lifetime of dark excitons are determined by spin-flip processes that transfer dark excitons into radiative bright excitons. We employ time-resolved spontaneous emission measurements in a modified local density of optical states to unambiguously reco...
