Silicon photonics devices for integrated analog signal processing and sampling
Summary
Summary
Silicon photonics offers the possibility of a reduction in size weight and power for many optical systems, and could open up the ability to build optical systems with complexities that would otherwise be impossible to achieve. Silicon photonics is an emerging technology that has already been inserted into commercial communication...
Photonic ADC: overcoming the bottleneck of electronic jitter
Summary
Summary
Accurate conversion of wideband multi-GHz analog signals into the digital domain has long been a target of analog-to-digital converter (ADC) developers, driven by applications in radar systems, software radio, medical imaging, and communication systems. Aperture jitter has been a major bottleneck on the way towards higher speeds and better accuracy...
Operation and optimization of silicon-diode-based optical modulators
Summary
Summary
An optical modulator in silicon based on a diode structure has been operated in both forward and reverse bias. This modulator achieves near state-of-the-art performance in both modes, thereby making this device idea for comparing the two modes of operation. In reverse bias, the device has a V[pi]L of 4.9...
