Abstract: An optical gate device may have one or more optical cavities. The optical cavity may have an embedded optically-active material providing strong light-matter coupling. A pump input allows application to of a pulsed optical pump beam the optically-active material. The pump beam is absorbed by the optically active material to form an exciton-polariton condensate which emits light. The optical gate device may have an input waveguide to input a seed signal to the optical cavity. The optical gate device may include an output waveguide to output of an optical signal at a wavelength corresponding to a resonant mode of a the cavity. The device may operate in a manner such that, when the pump beam is applied to the pump input, an optical output signal is selectively provided in the output waveguide, via the input of the a seed signal and light emitted by the exciton-polariton condensate.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a low-parasitic silicon high-speed phase modulator are disclosed and may include fabricating an optical phase modulator that comprises a PN junction waveguide formed in a silicon layer, wherein the silicon layer may be on an oxide layer and the oxide layer may be on a silicon substrate. The PN junction waveguide may have p-doped and n-doped regions on opposite sides along a length of the PN junction waveguide, and portions of the p-doped and n-doped regions may be removed. Contacts may be formed on remaining portions of the p-doped and n-doped regions. Portions of the p-doped and n-doped regions may be removed symmetrically about the PN junction waveguide. Portions of the p-doped and n-doped regions may be removed in a staggered fashion along the length of the PN junction waveguide. Etch transition features may be removed along the p-doped and n-doped regions.

Abstract: The present subject matter includes apparatus and techniques that can be used to reduce losses in systems that perform steering of a light beam. Such steering can be performed in a non-mechanical manner, such as using an electrically-controlled optical structure (e.g., an electro-optical structure). For example, a waveguide can be used to adjust an angle of a light beam (e.g., steer the light beam). The waveguide can include a core, a cladding including an electro-optic material, and electrodes defining an arrangement that, when selectively energized, adjusts an index of refraction of the electro-optic material. In particular, electrode arrangements as described herein can be used to reduce losses, such as losses that would occur due to diffraction.

Abstract: Energy efficient thermo-optic phase shifters have a configuration with two sections of a waveguide adjacent for heating by a common heater. A loop section can connect the two heated waveguide sections. Further improved efficiency can be achieved in which the heated sections are curved to allow closer placement of the adjacent waveguides. The heater can be curved to follow the configuration of the curved heated waveguide sections. Energy efficiency gains can be up to approximately a factor of two over corresponding traditional thermo-optical phase shifter designs.

Abstract: A device includes an optical splitter comprising a plurality of splitter outputs. The splitter outputs are out of phase and include a non-uniform phase front. The device includes a one-dimensional phase compensation array communicating with the optical splitter. The phase compensation array receives the non-uniform phase front and outputs a uniform phase front. The phase compensation array includes a plurality of array outputs. The device includes a tunable linear gradient phase shifter communicating with said phase compensation array to impart a linearly-varying phase shift across said plurality of array outputs, thereby steering a beam along a first angle in a first plane. The device includes a waveguide grating out-coupler communicating with said linear gradient phase shifter, and a uniform phase shifter communicating with the waveguide grating out-coupler. The uniform phase shifter steers the flat phase front along a second angle in a second plane perpendicular to said first plane.
