Bringing efficient second-order nonlinear effects in integrated photonics is an important task motivated by the prospect of enabling all possible optical functionalities on chip. Such has proved particularly challenging silicon photonics, as materials best suited for photonic integration lack susceptibility ($\chi^{(2)}$). Methods inducing effective $\chi^{(2)}$ such have recently opened new op...

We design and discuss an impedance matching solution for a hybrid silicon mode-locked laser diode (MLLD) to improve peak optical power coming from the device. In order to develop an impedance matching solution, a thorough measurement and analysis of the MLLD as a function of bias on each of the laser segments was carried out. A passive component impedance matching network was designed at the op...

typographical data entry errors and incomplete documents, produce imperfect records in real world databases. these errors generate distinct records which belong to the same entity. the aim of approximate record matching is to find multiple records which belong to an entity. in this paper, an algorithm for approximate record matching is proposed that can be adapted automatically with input error...
