Abstract: Example optical devices having a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with improved linearity are presented. An example optical device may include an MZI and a microring resonator (MRR) optically coupled to any one of a first optical waveguide arm or a second optical waveguide arm, where the MRR is operable in a resonance state and in an off-resonance state during operation of the optical device. The MZI includes a length difference between the first optical waveguide arm and the second optical waveguide arm thereby achieving a quarter-period phase delay between optical signals of the first optical waveguide arm and the second optical waveguide arm such that a superlinear transmission region of the microring resonator is aligned with peaks of an optical output of the MZI improving linearity of the optical output of the MZI.

Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein provide for devices and methods for obtaining parity time (PT) symmetric directional couplers through improved phase tuning, along with separate optical gain and optical loss tuning. The present disclosure integrates phase tuning and optical gain/loss tuning structures into waveguides of directional couplers disclosed herein. In some examples, directional couplers disclosed herein integrate one or more hybrid metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors (MOSCAPs) formed by a dielectric layer between two semiconductor layers that provide for phase tuning via plasma dispersion and/or carrier accumulation depending on voltage bias polarity, and one or more optically active medium that provide for optical gain or loss tuning depending on voltage bias polarity.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to an optical device, such as, a ring resonator, that includes a ring waveguide. The ring resonator includes a ring waveguide to allow passage of light therethrough. Further, the ring resonator includes a modulator formed along a first section of the circumference of the ring waveguide to modulate the light inside the ring waveguide based on an application of a first reverse bias voltage to the modulator. Moreover, the ring resonator includes an avalanche photodiode (APD) isolated from the modulator and formed along a second section of the circumference of the ring waveguide to detect the intensity of the light inside the ring waveguide based on an application of a second reverse bias voltage to the APD. The second section is shorter than the first section, and the second reverse bias voltage is higher than the first reverse bias voltage.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optical devices with integrated memristor behavior adapted for non-volatile retention of phase tuning. Examples include an optical filter having a first waveguide formed on a substrate and a phase shift mechanism coupled to the first waveguide. The phase shift mechanism comprises a semiconductor material layer bonded the first waveguide, and a filamentation layer formed between the first waveguide and the semiconductor material based on applying an electric field to the phase shift mechanism. The filamentation layer causes a non-volatile change in a refractive index of the first waveguide, that provides for phase detuning.
