Download or read book Integrated Silicon Photonic Optical Phased Array for Free space Optical Interconnect written by Francis A. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Integrated optical phased arrays (OPAs) are rapidly becoming one of the most promising technologies for future light detection and ranging (LIDAR) applications, thanks to their advantages in size, weight, and power consumption as compared to conventional solutions. Large-scale OPAs can leverage high integration densities of electronic-photonic integrated circuit technology to generate finer beamwidth, better beamsteering control, and higher optical power. Free-space optical interconnects (FSOI) are emerging as an attractive alternative to planar electrical interconnects for inter- and intra-chip data communications. By leveraging the third dimension above the chip surface, FSOI solutions can offer higher bandwidth density compared to on-chip, waveguide-based solutions. Through 3-D integration, low cost, CMOS-compatible, silicon photonic FSOI systems for high performance data center communications are within reach. The versatility of integrated OPAs can address the accurate alignment requirements of such systems to ensure robust link performance. At optical frequencies, the conventional design of phased arrays relies on the Finite-Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The FDTD method explicitly calculates the evolution of the array pattern from a finely discretized spatial representation of the entire array over a short time scale. Thus, computation accuracy is directly traded for simulation time. In addition, the modeling techniques to manage this tradeoff do not accommodate asymmetric arrays or allow array analysis at the system level. In this work, I present an OPA circuit design based on the synthesis method, which significantly relaxes the computational cost, time, and accuracy tradeoffs of OPA design at optical frequencies by using the radiation pattern of a single emitter element to synthesize that of the whole array. Instead of modeling an entire emitter array using the FDTD method, the synthesis approach requires only a single emitter to be simulated using 3-D FDTD. A design flow based on phased array synthesis allows accurate and robust modeling of arbitrary 1-D and 2-D OPAs, and enables optimization of device parameters and array coefficients across the device and system levels. OPAs serving FSOI and LIDAR applications require scalable architectures, and full phase control for 2-D, grating-lobe free beamsteering. 2-D phased array beamsteering can be efficiently achieved with 2-D apertures. However, significant design challenges emerge when 2-D apertures are scaled. The number of individually addressable emitters within a 2-D aperture is limited by the number of waveguides that can be interwoven between the emitters. As the emitter pitch is increased to accommodate the waveguides, the grating lobe pitch decreases, and the field-of-view of the array is reduced. Furthermore, independent phase control of each emitter is necessary to maximize beamsteering range. For each emitter, a corresponding phase shifter is required. Thus, power consumption scales with the number of emitters within the aperture. A non-uniform distribution of emitters in a sparse array configuration can relax the design tradeoffs of scaling a 2-D aperture. In an optimized sparse array, the beamforming performance of the uniform array is preserved with significantly fewer emitters. Thus, fewer phase shifters are required and beamsteering power consumption is reduced. However, there is no closed-form solution to guide the optimization of a 2-D sparse aperture. Conventional sparse aperture design relies on the genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm numerically emulates the evolutionary behaviors of DNA: mutation, crossover, and natural selection. For large apertures at optical frequencies, the genetic algorithm quickly becomes computationally prohibitive when compounded with hundreds to thousands of iterations. In addition, the optimized layout of emitters follows the uniform grid of the reference array. Arrays with a non-grid geometry may possess desirable pattern properties. However, these potential solutions lie outside the solution space and are treated as outliers by the genetic algorithm. The phased array synthesis design flow is used to develop a new technique for sparse OPA design by layout-constrained, array factor (LCAF) optimization. Instead of evaluating a large set of potential solutions, the LCAF method reduces the sparse optimization problem to three fundamental arrays, and leverages a triangular array geometry to achieve a scalable OPA aperture. The triangular array is distributed in a diagonally asymmetric configuration to increase waveguide routing area, and preserve the beamforming properties of an equivalent dense array. This diagonally asymmetric array geometry is designed to potentially increase orthogonal free-space optical beam steering range compared to conventional rectangular grid OPA geometries. The synthesis method is used to develop an OPA chip prototype in a standard silicon photonic technology. A technique is developed to leverage the natural static bias of the optical waveguide channels to reduce the power required for beamsteering control. Further, multi-function optical beam control is explored through subarray beam splitting. The fabricated chip prototype is packaged and tested in a custom free-space imaging test bench. A closed-loop, component-to-system optimization is used in both circuit design and testing. The measured beamwidth of the sparse OPA is 2.13 degrees in phi and 0.67 degrees in theta. The measured grating lobe free beamsteering range in phi is 20 degrees, and in theta is 24 degrees. The measurement results agree with the simulations and are successfully verified by the design"--Pages x-xii

This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicon photonics technology, which has the DNA of silicon electronics technology, promises to provide a compact photonic integration platform with high integration density, mass-producibility, and excellent cost performance. This technology has been used to develop and to integrate various photonic functions on silicon substrate. Moreover, photonics-electronics convergence based on silicon substrate is now being pursued. Thanks to these features, silicon photonics will have the potential to be a superior technology used in the construction of energy-efficient cost-effective apparatuses for various applications, such as communications, information processing, and sensing. Considering the material characteristics of silicon and difficulties in microfabrication technology, however, silicon by itself is not necessarily an ideal material. For example, silicon is not suitable for light emitting devices because it is an indirect transition material. The resolution and dynamic range of silicon-based interference devices, such as wavelength filters, are significantly limited by fabrication errors in microfabrication processes. For further performance improvement, therefore, various assisting materials, such as indium-phosphide, silicon-nitride, germanium-tin, are now being imported into silicon photonics by using various heterogeneous integration technologies, such as low-temperature film deposition and wafer/die bonding. These assisting materials and heterogeneous integration technologies would also expand the application field of silicon photonics technology. Fortunately, silicon photonics technology has superior flexibility and robustness for heterogeneous integration. Moreover, along with photonic functions, silicon photonics technology has an ability of integration of electronic functions. In other words, we are on the verge of obtaining an ultimate technology that can integrate all photonic and electronic functions on a single Si chip. This e-Book aims at covering recent developments of the silicon photonic platform and novel functionalities with heterogeneous material integrations on this platform.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated photonics is a promising technology for next-generation computing because of the essential characteristics of light, including low latency, high bandwidth, and low power consumption. In the past decades, Integrated photonics has evolved significantly over the past few decades, with abundant passive and active optical components offering ultrahigh bandwidth and ultralow power consumption. In addition, advancements in fabrication technologies have also enabled the co-integration of silicon-based electronic and photonic circuits on a chip, allowing for the realization of complex computing tasks with electrons and photons. Previous work reveals that photonic-electronic computing circuits have the potential to outperform transistor-based electronic computing circuits by orders of magnitude in speed and energy efficiency. However, the scalability of photonic-electronic circuits still requires improvement, which is critical to the success of optical computing in the post-Moore’s law era, especially given the need for this technology to compete with other emerging computing technologies. This dissertation proposes the development of scalable photonic-electronic integrated circuits that capitalize on the strengths of electrons and photons to facilitate high-speed, energy-efficient computing and intra-chip interconnects. We explore scaling technologies for photonic computing systems that optimize the area and energy efficiency, such as wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), and demonstrate their effectiveness through experimental demonstrations. Our investigation of photonic-electronic computing circuits spans from the device to the architecture level and includes both digital and analog computing. We first introduce the building blocks of optical computing, including essential components like electro-optic modulators, and discuss general scaling technologies in silicon-based photonic-electronic computing circuit designs. We then present a WDM-based photonic-electronic digital comparator with experimental demonstrations that exhibit its practicality in performing high-performance arithmetic logic operations. Next, we investigate photonic-electronic circuits for intra-chip interconnect with a WDM-based photonic-electronic switching network. These photonic-electronic digital logic circuits can be operated at 20 Gb/s with experimental demonstrations. Additionally, we focus on optical analog computing and discuss scaling strategies for photonic-electronic analog computing circuits that can accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) tasks. We present a subspace optical neural network architecture that trades the universality of weight representation for better hardware usage, such as a smaller footprint and lower energy consumption. We experimentally demonstrate its utility using a butterfly-style photonic-electronic neural chip. Finally, we investigate device-level optimization of the optical neural network using a promising multi-operand optical neuron to further scale down the footprint of photonic neural chips. We conduct thorough performance discussions of these photonic-electronic computing circuits, demonstrating their potential to outperform transistor-based computing circuits in terms of computational speed and energy efficiency

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 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are attracting strong interest for their advances in building scalable, high-throughput, and low-cost on-chip optical communication systems. The silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform is compatible with CMOS technologies which allow for optic-electronic interconnects in the future photonic-electronic integration. In the meantime, Silicon nitride (Si3N4) based PIC platforms are becoming outstanding solutions because of their relatively low optical propagation losses on a silicon CMOS compatible platform. The multilayer structure is promising for future low-loss, small-footprint, and high-density 3D PICs. The key components in this field including arrayed waveguide gratings/routers (AWG/AWGR), optical modulators, and germanium photo-detectors are forming the path to the on-chip passive optical circuits. Heterogeneous integration opens an access to realizing the integration of active components on silicon substrates as light sources of the on-chip optical systems. In addition, heterogeneous integration of various materials is adding powerful functions to the silicon photonic platform, such as the athermalization and the magneto-optical effect. This dissertation pursues the development of 2D passive photonic devices as well as 3D multilayer photonic devices, integration of III-V materials on silicon substrates, and novel materials integration on the silicon photonic platform. The investigated 2D passive photonic devices include the cascaded multimode interference (MMI) couplers, the uniform splitting star couplers, the low-loss arrayed waveguide gratings/routers (AWGs/AWGRs), and the uniform emission gratings. Heavy emphasis is the silicon nitride (Si3N4) multilayer platform and the 3D photonic devices, including the vertical Y-junctions and the 3D couplers with arbitrary power splitting ratio. Along with passive photonic device demonstrations, the demand of more useful platforms leads the path to heterogeneous integration. To realize the integration of functional materials on silicon substrates, we investigated direct wafer bonding and RF magnetron sputtering in this dissertation. By using the wafer bonding approach, we demonstrated the AlGaAs/GaAs multiple quantum wells (MQWs) thin film integration on silicon substrates. By using the RF magnetron sputtering approach, we demonstrated the integration of novel materials on the silicon photonic platform, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) for athermal applications, and bismuth-iron-garnet (BIG) for magneto-optic isolators.
