Interference alignment (IA) is a linear precoding strategy that can achieve optimal capacity scaling at high SNR in interference networks. Most of the existing IA designs require full channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters,…

The coupling between negative and positive index medium waveguides is investigated theoretically in this paper. A coupled mode theory is developed for such a waveguide system and its validity is verified. Interesting phenomena in the…

This paper develops a novel methodology for designing analog beamforming codebooks for full-duplex millimeter wave (mmWave) transceivers, the first such codebooks to the best of our knowledge. Our design reduces the self-interference…

In this paper we report suspended silicon waveguides operating at a wavelength of 7.67 mm with a propagation loss of 3.1 ? 0.3 dB/cm. To our knowledge this is the first demonstration of low loss silicon waveguides at such a long wavelength,…

Mode-division multiplexing offers a promising solution to increase the data capacity for optical communications. Waveguide mode conversion is essential for on-chip mode-division multiplexing. Previously reported mode converters have been…

Compact fiber-to-chip couplers play an important role in optical interconnections, especially in data centers. However, the development of couplers has been mostly limited to standard single mode fibers, with few devices compatible with…

Optical interconnects have attracted significant research interest for use in short-reach board-level optical communication links in supercomputers and data centres. Multimode polymer waveguides in particular constitute an attractive…

We develop a single-layer waveguide surface grating structure to vertically couple near infrared (NIR) light at ~1.55 um wavelength from a large area (~100 um length scale) Si waveguide on a Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) substrates to…

This paper delivers the first report of a mid-infrared (MIR) waveguide array design that employs complementary and asymmetric tapered Euler-shaped bends. These provide greater fabrication flexibility to achieve subwavelength-pitch…

Amorphous insulators have localized wave functions that decay with the distance $r$ following exp($-r/\zeta$). Since nanoscale conduction is not excluded at $r<\zeta$, one may use amorphous insulators and take advantage of their size effect…

We theoretically investigate the use of Rayleigh surface acoustic waves (SAWs) for refractive index modulation in optical waveguides consisting of amorphous dielectrics. Considering low-loss Si$_3$N$_4$ waveguides with a standard core cross…

We design a three-way silicon optical waveguide with the Bloch dispersion relation supporting a stationary inflection point (SIP). The SIP is a third order exceptional point of degeneracy (EPD) where three Bloch modes coalesce forming the…

Silicon optics with wide bandwidth anti-reflection (AR) coatings, made of multi-layer textured silicon surfaces, are developed for millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. Single and double layer AR coatings were designed for an optimal…

In quantum computation, information is processed by gates that must coherently couple separate qubits. In many systems the qubits are naturally coupled, but such an always-on interaction limits the algorithms that may be implemented.…

We report successful incorporation of an ensemble of G centers in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) microrings using ion implantation and conventional nanofabrication. The coupling between the emitters and the resonant modes of the microrings is…

We demonstrate for the first time flat-top interleavers based on cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) which use only single multimode interferometers (MMIs) as power splitters. Our previous designs were based on 4-stage cascades of…

An ultralow-V{\pi}L photonic switch device is demonstrated utilizing the high optical and electrical field confinement in silicon slot waveguides coupled with the strong electro-optic response of nematic liquid crystals. A silicon photonic…

High Q-factor inductors are critical in designing high performance RF/microwave circuits on SOI technology. Substrate losses is a key limiting factor when designing inductors with high Q-factors. In this context, we report a substrate…
