The GaAsP/Si dual-junction solar cells have been systematically investigated in our paper by using AMPS (Analysis of Microelectronic and Photonic Structures). Based on the optimized results of single-junction solar cells, we propose a promising method to improve the properties of the dual-junction solar cell. And the monolithic GaAsxP1−x/Si dual-junction solar cells with various As compositions (x=0...
We proposed a versatile polarizer independent with the polarization of the incident light by coating the graphene on the silicon waveguide. The proposed polarizer works at two operation states: TE-pass state and TM-pass state, where the variation of mode effective index is different for the two states. Therefore it is able to combine TE-pass and TM-pass polarizer into one single component. The proposed...
We propose a scheme to realize polarization rotation (PR) based on SOI by using two mode converters and a phase shifter. Simulation results from 3D-FDTD show that the PR has extinction ratio (ER) larger than 20 dB and insertion loss less than 0.4 dB in an ultra-wide range from 1450 nm to 1650 nm for both TM0 and TE0. Moreover, the total length of the device is 33μm with a height of 220 nm.
Because of graphene's large nonlinear refractive index, a nonlinear model is established to characterized the nonlinear parameters. With graphene, the nonlinear parameters of the hybrid graphene-silicon waveguides increase tens of times. Figure of merits of such waveguides indicate that graphene could be used to enhance the nonlinear performances of silicon waveguides.
A polarization converter (PC) based on the mode coupling in a hybrid plasmonic waveguide (HPW) is proposed. This PC comprises a Si core, a low index insulator layer surrounding the Si core, and two asymmetrically arranged Ag strips. Two orthogonal hybrid polarization modes are excited within the low index insulator layer. By exploiting the mode characteristics of these two hybrid polarization modes,...
Digital Electro-optics Platform is the main concept of Jasper Display Corp. (JDC) to develop various applications. These applications are based on our X-on-Silicon technologies, for example, X-on-Silicon technologies could be used on Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS), Micro Light-Emitting Diode on Silicon (μLEDoS), Organic Light-Emitting Diode on Silicon (OLEDoS), and Cell on Silicon (CELLoS), etc...
We propose and numerically simulate a 2×2 Digital Optical Switch (DOS) based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) adiabatic coupler for TE polarizations at 1550nm. The simulation results acquired by Beam-Propagation-Method (BPM) reveal that the cross-talk (CT) levels are below −27dB over a broadband of 60nm. Small simulated insertion-losses (ILs) below 0.1dB are obtained between the wavelengths 1520nm to...
We demonstrate a silicon PAM-4 optical modulator, which is based on a symmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Two uncorrelated binary electrical signals with different peak-to-peak voltages are applied to the phase shifters of the silicon optical modulator. Accordingly, two different phase shifts are generated in the two arms. After the permutation, there are totally four phase differences between...
We design and fabricate a silicon based 1×2 optical switch based on the free-carrier plasma dispersion effect, with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. The experimental result shows that it has an extinction ratio of 21.8 dB at 1546 nm, which meets the requirements of the most applications in optical telecommunication networks.
We propose a silicon 2×2 optical switch which can simultaneous manipulate wavelength division multiplexing and mode division multiplexing signals. It is composed of broadband mode multiplexers, demultiplexers and single mode optical switch elements. For demonstration, we design and fabricate a prototype device using asymmetric directional coupler and Mach-Zehnder optical switch elements which can...
A brand new design of slot waveguide is proposed using a subwavelength hollow-core fiber, which enables light to be confined in an extremely small hollow-core with long interaction length. The slot-waveguide fibers (SWFs) have specific advantages in ultra-low volume optofluidic sensing compared with other waveguide structures. The guiding properties and optimization of the design to maximize its sensitive...
