摘要： A cryogenic optoelectronic data link, comprising a sending module operating at a cryogenic temperature less than 100 K. An ultrasensitive electro-optic modulator, sensitive to input voltages of less than 10 mV, may include at least one optically active layer of graphene, which may be part of a microscale resonator, which in turn may be integrated with an optical waveguide or an optical fiber. The optoelectronic data link enables optical output of weak electrical signals from superconducting or other cryogenic electronic devices in either digital or analog form. The modulator may be integrated on the same chip as the cryogenic electrical devices. A plurality of cryogenic electrical devices may generate a plurality of electrical signals, each coupled to its own modulator. The plurality of modulators may be resonant at different frequencies, and coupled to a common optical output line to transmit a combined wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optical signal.

摘要： Systems, methods, devices, and apparatuses generate a fully integrated broadband high power frequency combs, based on a multimode gain chip. Embodiments can generate a frequency comb spanning over ˜150 nm and include self-injection locking of a multimode chip-based gain, which can allow access to high pump power while maintaining single mode operation. The integrated frequency comb systems and methods can comprise a multimode gain chip, a ring resonator in optical communication with a waveguide and, and an integrated heater in thermal communication with the ring resonator. Embodiments can be configured to receive multimode gain input and effect a single-mode ring feedback to determine a target mode. A temperature of the ring resonator can be optionally adjusted to modulate the ring feedback, and the ring feedback can be applied to the multimode gain input to generate an output frequency comb that includes the target mode.

摘要： A probe structure includes a monolithically integrated waveguide and lens. The probe is based on SU-8 as a guiding material. A waveguide mold is defined using wet etching of silicon using a silicon dioxide mask patterned with 45° angle with respect to the silicon substrate edge and an aluminum layer acting as a mirror is deposited on the silicon substrate. A lens mold is made using isotropic etching of the fused silica substrate and then aligned to the silicon substrate. A waveguide polymer such as SU-8 2025 is flowed into the waveguide mask+lens mold (both on the same substrate) by decreasing its viscosity and using capillary forces via careful temperature control of the substrate.

摘要： Methods, systems, and devices are described for electro-optic tuning. An example device may comprise a first layer comprising a transition metal di-chalcogenide material, a second layer comprising a conductive material, and a third layer comprising a dielectric material. The third layer may be disposed at least partially between the first layer and the second layer. An electrical potential difference applied between the first layer and the second layer may cause a tunable refractive index change in the first layer.
