Silicon photonic devices need to be complemented with other materials for the realization of optically active devices. The unique emission properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes are especially promising for efficient light emitters realization in the telecommunication wavelength ranges and for their integration in silicon photonic devices. However one of the problem of carbon nanotubes is their...
Periodically patterning Si with a pitch small enough to suppress diffraction, we synthesize an effective photonic medium with refractive index between those of Si and the cladding material. This technique releases new degrees of freedom in engineering of light-matter interaction, chromatic dispersion and light propagation in Si photonic waveguides. We report our advances in the development of subwavelength...
Optical interconnects are expected to overcome the copper link bottlenecks. Among the different developed technologies, silicon photonics becomes one of the preferred solutions. Indeed, due to its compatibility with the CMOS platform, silicon photonics is considered as a viable solution for the development of the future generation photonic interconnects. However, the on-chip integration of all photonic...
Polarization management is a key functionality in many photonic applications including telecommunications, polarization diversity circuits and sensing, to name a few. Developing integrated circuits capable of reliably controlling polarization state would result in compact and low cost circuits with improved stability, compared with fiber or bulk optics solutions. Polarization rotators are a key building...
This paper reports on recent results on the integration of carbon nanotubes on the silicon photonic platform. Light coupling from carbon nanotubes in a fully integrated silicon resonator will be presented.
In this work we propose the utilization of the Butler matrix as a six-port I/Q demodulator. The inherent symmetry of its topology allows to overcome the intrinsic amplitude and phase imbalances of the traditional approaches making it more suitable for the design of high performance six-port networks. To demonstrate the validity of the proposal a Butler matrix has been designed covering the complete...
