Single-frequency violet and blue laser emission from AlGaInN photonic integrated circuit chips

Tobias Kippenberg, Anat Siddharth

Chip-based, single-frequency and low phase-noise integrated photonic laser diodes emitting in the violet (412 nm) and blue (461 nm) regime are demonstrated. The GaN-based edge-emitting laser diodes were coupled to high-quality on-chip micro-resonators for ...

Crossing of the Branch Cut: The Topological Origin of a Universal 2 pi-Phase Retardation in Non-Hermitian Metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri

Full wavefront control by photonic components requires that the spatial phase modulation on an incoming optical beam ranges from 0 to 2 pi. Because of their radiative coupling to the environment, all optical components are intrinsically non-Hermitian syste ...

Compact, spatial-mode-interaction-free, ultralow-loss, nonlinear photonic integrated circuits

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Xinru Ji, Zheru Qiu, Junqiu Liu, Jijun He

Multi-mode waveguides are ubiquitously used in integrated photonics. Although interaction among different spatial waveguide eigenmodes can induce novel nonlinear phenomena, spatial mode interaction is typically undesired. Adiabatic bends, such as Euler ben ...

Subwavelength Metawaveguide Filters and Metaports

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Maliheh Khatibi Moghaddam

This paper proposes an alternative technique for the design of miniaturized waveguide filters based on locally resonant metamaterials (LRMs). We implement ultrasmall metamaterial filters (metafilters) by exploiting a subwavelength (sub-λ) guiding mechanism ...
