Summary: There is a high demand for high-refractive-index and low-loss materials in on-chip nanophotonics. The use of van der Waals (vdW) materials with a high refractive index can provide an advanced alternative. However, it was not clear if the optical anisotropy perpendicular to the layers might hinder the development of vdW nanophotonics. By studying WS2-based waveguides, it was discovered that the low refractive index in the direction perpendicular to the atomic layers actually improves the characteristics of the devices.

Summary: This paper demonstrates the use of a wavelength converter based on cross-gain modulation in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as a nonlinear function integrated within an all-optical neuron. The impact of fully integrated linear and nonlinear functions on the neuron output is investigated. The performance of the monolithically integrated neuron is found to be better than that of the corresponding hybrid device in terms of accuracy. These all-optical neurons are then used to simulate a two-layer photonic deep neural network for handwritten digit classification, achieving high accuracy and energy efficiency compared to state-of-the-art graphics processing units. The importance of scaling photonic integrated neural networks on chip is emphasized.

Summary: We present an optical arbitrary waveform measurement (OAWM) system that uses a bank of silicon photonic (SiP) frequency-tunable coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW) filters for continuous spectral slicing of broadband optical signals. By using a frequency comb as a multi-wavelength local oscillator (LO) and digital signal processing (DSP), the spectral slices are coherently detected and stitched together. Our proof-of-concept experiment demonstrates the feasibility of the scheme.

Summary: Inverse design in photonics faces challenges of heavy computational requirements and extensive parameter spaces for large components. Two strategies, Adaptive Threshold Binarization and Hybrid Optimization, have been proposed to improve inverse design and reduce the probability of converging to poor local optima. These strategies enable inverse design for waveguide structures with larger dimensions, demonstrating their capability on an InP waveguide platform for the first time.

Summary: We investigate and demonstrate coherent detection with double-side vertically illuminated photodiodes by injecting signal and local oscillator (LO) collinearly from opposite sides of the photodetector chip. This method provides a 4.5 dB advantage over conventional coherent detection with beam splitters. The heterodyne efficiency exhibits a penalty of 1.5 dB at optimal absorption layer thickness in the case of counter-propagating signal and LO. We demonstrate the concept of using this dependence for spatially resolved coherent lidar systems.
