Silicon photonics is a technology based on fabricating integrated optical circuits by using the
same paradigms as the dominant electronics industry. After twenty years of fervid …

Refractive index fronts propagating in waveguides are special spatiotemporal perturbations.
The interaction of light with such fronts can be described in terms of an indirect transition …

Integrated optical tweezers have the potential to enable highly-compact, low-cost, mass-
manufactured, and broadly-accessible optical manipulation when compared to standard …

Co-packaging of optics and electronics for data center switches has been proposed to
reduce system-level power consumption by minimizing power-hungry electrical …

Chemical imaging based on mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopic contrast is an important
technique with a myriad of applications, including biomedical imaging and environmental …

A fundamental challenge in the design of photonic devices, and electromagnetic structures
more generally, is the optimization of their overall architecture to achieve a desired …

The understanding of free-carrier dynamics in silicon photonic nano-waveguides and micro-
cavities is fundamental to several nonlinear optical phenomena. Through time-resolved …

The reflection of light from moving boundaries is of interest both fundamentally and for
applications in frequency conversion, but typically requires high pump power. By using a …

We demonstrate highly sensitive photon counting in the infrared region based on two-
photon absorption (2PA) in a silicon avalanche photodiode, where the required photon …

We report on time-resolved pump and probe characterization of linear and nonlinear optical
generation of free carriers in a silicon strip nano-waveguide at the 1550 nm communication …
