This book was released on 2014 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Optical interconnects offer advantages over electrical interconnects such as higher bandwidth, low power, reduced interconnects delay, and immunity to electro-magnetic interference and signal crosstalk. However, in order for optical interconnects to be widely adopted, the technology must be made cost effective and must be simple to implement with CMOS electronics. Silicon photonics offers a great promise due to its inexpensive material and its compatibility with the current CMOS fabrication technology. Moreover, Silicon as a platform has the ability to integrate with different types of the optical components such as photodetector, modulator, light source, and waveguide to form a photonics integrated circuit. The goal of this work is to develop and fabricate devices that utilize a hybrid electronic-photonic integration to enable high performance optoelectronic computing and communication systems that overcome the barriers of electronics and dramatically enhance the performance of circuits and systems. We experimentally demonstrate a novel broadband optical time division multiplexer (OTDM) on a silicon chip. The system has a footprint 500 micrometer × 700 micrometer and is inherently broadband with a bandwidth of over 100nm making it suitable for high-speed optical networks on chip. Also, we propose and fabricate a novel design to demultiplex the high bit rates of OTDM data using two differentially operated 5Gb/s modulators. Moreover, we propose a high-speed hybrid optical-time-division-multiplexing (OTDM) and wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) system that seamlessly generates high bit-rate data (200Gbit/s) from a low speed (5Gbit/s) quantum-dot mode locked laser pulse source. By utilizing time and wavelength domains, the proposed design is a promising solution for high-speed, compact and low-power consumption optical networks on chip. And finally, we experimentally demonstrate a robust, low insertion loss, compact Silicon ring resonator electro-optic modulator for Binary Phase Shift Key (BPSK) coding/decoding that encodes data in the phase of light. Our design improves significantly over recently demonstrated PSK modulator designs in terms of insertion loss and stability."--Abstract.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past decades have witnessed the unprecedented success in very-large scale integration-based electronic computing, as indicated by the Moore’s law. Transistors continue to scale down from micrometer to nanometer and computing cores continue to increase with all the benefits of lower power consumption and higher speed coming naturally until the falter of Moore’s law in recent years as nanofabrication technology approaches its inevitable limit. Remarkable efforts have been made to develop high-speed and power-efficient computing alternatives in this post-Moore’s law era. The exploration of optical computing started as early as ~1970s when integrated electronic computing was just about to take off. The continuous success of electronic computing over decades has not slowed down but instead stimulated the research on optical computing. It is because photonics own unique and fascinating properties such as ultrahigh speed, high bandwidth, and various multiplexing techniques, making it a promising candidate to supersede electronics especially when electronics face unsolvable obstacles. Fortunately, in this post-Moore’s law era, integrated photonics has evolved rapidly with abundant passive and active micrometer-size components available with ultralow power consumption. It enables integrated optical computing to be comparable with transistor-based electronic computing in terms of speed and power. In this dissertation, a new architecture of electronic-photonic computing will be presented, which makes the full use of electronics and photonics to achieve ultrahigh-speed and low-power-consumption computing that are comparable with the state-of-the-art transistors-based electronic computing. This dissertation will cover bottom-to-top discussions, ranging from gates, circuits, to automatic design algorithm, to architecture and entire system. First, it starts with the introduction of electro-optic logic and then the design and analysis of fundamental logic gates and circuits along with the essential components such as electro-optic modulators. Second, an automated logic synthesis algorithm called And-Inverter Graph will be presented, which is capable of designing computing circuits using these fundamental logic gates automatically and efficiently. Third, an electronic-photonic arithmetic logic unit is proposed with an experimental demonstration of 4-bit circuit operating at 20 GHz. Thorough discussion of the performance is also conducted which shows its potential to surpass the state-of-the-art transistors-based computing circuits in terms of speed and power. Forth, a Moore’s law in optical computing is discussed with one promising method called multi-operand logic gates provided. Lastly, architectural considerations of electronic-photonic computing are presented

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Quantum-based communication systems can potentially achieve the ultimate security from eavesdropping and greatly reduce the operating powers on chip. Light-speed transmission, noise immunity, and low noise properties make photons indispensable for quantum communication to transfer a quantum state through a transmission line. Furthermore, the field of silicon nanophotonics is a fast growing field which is driven by the attractive and promising improvements it has to offer in high pee communication systems and on chip optical interconnects. Consequently, there is a high demand to develop the building blocks for photon manipulation in silicon nanophotonic circuits. The goal of the work is to enable high performance optoelectronic computing and communication systems that overcome the barriers of electronics and dramatically enhance the performance of circuits and systems. We will focus our attention on solving some of the issues with the current systems regarding photon storage, routing, isolation, switching, and energy conversion. We realize a continuously tunable optical memory which breaks the time-bandwidth limit by more than thirty times. This enabled the on-chip photon scattering when transmitted through micro-scale optical cavities. In addition, we develop novel dynamic quantum mechanical models that predict quantum-like behavior of single and multi-photon wavepackets. Furthermore, we report for the first time that efficient red shifts in silicon are achievable with free carrier injection which generally produces blue wavelength shifts. We realize adiabatic wavelength conversion and discrete photonic transitions of single photons in silicon cavities. Moreover, we demonstrate a basic quantum network on chip with an on-chip photon source. We present a novel design for CMOS compatible optical isolator on silicon chip using a system of active cavities. And finally, we analyze a novel ultra-fast broadband modulator in silicon based on free-carrier absorption effect in SOI waveguides integrated with Schottky diodes."--Abstract.
