Summary: This work investigates the optoelectronic mixing characteristics of the uni-traveling carrier photodetector (UTC-PD). Three different types of optoelectronic mixing modes are analyzed, and methods to improve the power of the mixing output signal are proposed. The results show that adjusting the peak-to-peak value of the RF signal and increasing the power of the optical signal are effective ways to enhance the output power of the mixing product.

Summary: A reconfigurable photonic integrated transmitter, allowing dynamic resource allocation in the metro-access network, is proposed. It is composed of a multicarrier sliceable bandwidth variable transmitter (MC-SBVT) made of indium phosphide and a silicon-nitride-based optical cross-connect (OXC). The architecture provides full flexibility in data format/bandwidth choice, channel spacing, and wavelength assignment. The functional design and practical realization of the MC-SBVT and OXC, as well as preliminary characterization results, demonstrating device reconfigurability, are discussed.

Summary: Atomic optical filters with ultranarrow bandwidth and high peak transmission can be achieved by introducing optical pumping into cold atomic systems. In this work, a cold-atom optical filter operating at 780 nm is demonstrated, which achieves an ultranarrow bandwidth of 6.6(4) MHz and a peak transmission of 15.6%, nearly 14 times higher than traditional methods. This technique can be applied to various atomic optical filters and find applications in self-stabilizing lasers and active optical clocks.

Summary: This article compares the power efficiency of signal transmission over optical carrier and RF carrier. It reveals that in direct optical detection schemes, the noise equivalent power is significantly higher than that of RF signal detection with an antenna. RF transmission has an advantage over optical transmission when the available bandwidth is limited.

Summary: The influence of LED chip parameters on the nonlinear dynamic response was investigated. The dynamic character of LED nonlinearity was demonstrated through the analysis of LED cores under different parameters. Two measures of LED nonlinearity were proposed. The analysis revealed that doping concentration and bias current have different effects on the nonlinear behavior of LED.

Summary: Improvements in the efficacy of optical phase conjugation (OPC) for compensating nonlinear signal distortion in long distance optical fiber links have been demonstrated. This is achieved by tailoring the link spans using step-parameter profiled fiber (SPF) to mitigate the impact of propagation loss on phase distortion before and after OPC. The addition of a dispersion element after OPC further enhances compensation in shorter subsections of spans. Numerical simulations and measurements show that the use of OPC and SPF designs significantly improve the Q(2)-factor and reduce bit error rate in different fiber link scenarios.

Summary: The explosive growth of deep-learning applications has led to a new era in computing, with neuromorphic photonic platforms combining high speed and energy efficiency. However, transferring deep neural networks onto silicon photonic architectures requires an analog computing engine capable of tiled matrix multiplication at line rate. In this study, we demonstrate an analog SiPho computing engine using a coherent architecture, achieving record-high optical TMM speed of 50 GHz. We highlight its potential to support DL applications with a large number of trainable parameters, showcasing a photonic DNN that can detect distributed denial-of-service attacks with high accuracy.
