Aspheric waveguide lenses for photonic integrated circuits
Indium phosphide is one of the most promising materials for photonic integrated circuits that combine passive optical components such as waveguides, couplers, and filters with active components such as lasers, detectors, and modulators all on the same chip. A waveguide lens is a very useful component for integrated optics and substantial work has indeed been devoted to its achievement. Many len...
متن کاملExperimental realization of highly efficient broadband coupling of single quantum dots to a photonic crystal waveguide.
We present time-resolved spontaneous emission measurements of single quantum dots embedded in photonic crystal waveguides. Quantum dots that couple to a photonic crystal waveguide are found to decay up to 27 times faster than uncoupled quantum dots. From these measurements beta-factors of up to 0.89 are derived, and an unprecedented large bandwidth of 20 nm is demonstrated. This shows the promi...
متن کاملDesign of an Arrayed Waveguide Grating for Photonic Integrated Circuits
Arrayed waveguide gratings are useful structures for the implementation of wavelength division multiplexing; however, in their current form, they are too large to be made cheaply or to use as an integrated component. This paper discusses the work of the MIT Microphotonics Center, explains the operation of an arrayed waveguide grating, and discusses plans for a Master of Engineering thesis proje...
متن کاملElectro-optic routing of photons from a single quantum dot in photonic integrated circuits
Recent breakthroughs in solid-state photonic quantum technologies enable generating and detecting single photons with near-unity efficiency as required for a range of photonic quantum technologies. The lack of methods to simultaneously generate and control photons within the same chip, however, has formed a main obstacle to achieving efficient multi-qubit gates and to harness the advantages of ...
متن کاملHigh efficiency coupling of light from a ridge to a photonic crystal waveguide.
We present theoretical and experimental demonstration of two designs to achieve group velocity insensitive coupling of light from a ridge waveguide to a photonic crystal waveguide. We demonstrate an average improvement of 62% in coupling to low group velocity modes and an average coupling enhancement of 11.5% at large group velocities.
