Applications of thin-film lithium niobate in nonlinear integrated photonics
Photonics on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) has emerged as one of the most pursued disciplines within integrated optics. Ultracompact and low-loss optical waveguides and related devices on this modern material platform have rejuvenated the traditional and commercial applications of lithium niobate for optical modulators based on the electro-optic effect, as well as optical wavelength converters based on second-order nonlinear effects, e.g., second-harmonic, sum-, and difference-frequency generations. TFLN has also created vast opportunities for applications and integrated solutions for optical parametric amplification and oscillation, cascaded nonlinear effects, such as low-harmonic generation; third-order nonlinear effects, such as supercontinuum generation; optical frequency comb generation and stabilization; and nonclassical nonlinear effects, such as spontaneous parametric downconversion for quantum optics. Recent progress in nonlinear integrated photonics on TFLN for all these applications, their current trends, and future opportunities and challenges are reviewed.

Nonlinear optics in ultra-silicon-rich nitride devices: recent developments and future outlook
Nonlinear integrated optics leveraging platforms with high nonlinear figure of merit offer energy efficient optical signal processing capabilities. Over the last five years, CMOS-compatible ultra-silico-rich nitride (USRN) has emerged as a promising platform on which to implement various nonlinear optics functions. Bandgap engineered to maximize the Kerr nonlinearity while maintaining two-photon absorption free behavior at telecommunications wavelengths, USRN possesses a nonlinear refractive index that is 100× larger than that in stoichiometric silicon nitride. In this article, we review the recent progress made in USRN-based nonlinear integrated optics devices. The impacts it has made spanning from high gain optical parametric amplification and observations of soliton effects in photonic waveguides and photonic crystal waveguide structures will be discussed. Finally, we assess the future outlook of CMOS-compatible USRN-based nonlinear optics.

Design and Analysis of All Optical Sequence Detector Using Micro-ring Resonator Structures
Nonlinear photonics is one of the options in the field of modern ultra-speed secured Information processing in optical communication. Switching action through Micro-ring Resonator can be used to implement all-optical sequence detector finite state machine mealy model and optical D flip-flop. The paper explained the switching action of the MRR structure along with the implementation of efficient all-optical 4-bit sequence detector using finite state machine mealy model for overlapping and non-overlapping scheme in a single unit using the proper arrangement of all-optical combinational circuits and D flip flops. The layouts and switching techniques of all-optical desired 4-bit sequence detector have been thoroughly described, and corresponding simulation results using MATLAB have been shown to verify the proposed unit's appropriateness. These techniques reduce the size of the optical circuit and make it more compact to incorporate with very large scale integrated optics (VLSIO). The proposed unit avoids the complex issues related to electro-optic and optoelectronics signal conversion. The analysis shows that implementation of sequence detector finite state machine (FSM) mealy model and clocked D flip-flop assists desired 4-bit sequence detector in the optical domain includes some significant advantages of secured optical communication. To attain an efficient range of device parameters, the manuscript discussed a detailed investigation of performance parameters for proper switching speed, extinction ratio, and contrast ratio of micro-ring resonator. Finally, the manuscript defines a competent technique to implement an all-optical MRR-based desired 4-bit sequence detector.

On-Chip E00–E20 Mode Converter Based on Multi-Mode Interferometer
Mode converters is a key component in mode-division multiplexing (MDM) systems, which plays a key role in signal processing and multi-mode conversion. In this paper, we propose an MMI-based mode converter on 2%-Δ silica PLC platform. The converter transfers E00 mode to E20 mode with high fabrication tolerance and large bandwidth. The experimental results show that the conversion efficiency can exceed −1.741 dB with the wavelength range of 1500 nm to 1600 nm. The measured conversion efficiency of the mode converter can reach −0.614 dB at 1550 nm. Moreover, the degradation of conversion efficiency is less than 0.713 dB under the deviation of multimode waveguide length and phase shifter width at 1550 nm. The proposed broadband mode converter with high fabrication tolerance is promising for on-chip optical network and commercial applications.

Multidimensional quantum entanglement with large-scale integrated optics
The ability to pattern optical circuits on-chip, along with coupling in single and entangled photon sources, provides the basis for an integrated quantum optics platform. Wang et al. demonstrate how they can expand on that platform to fabricate very large quantum optical circuitry. They integrated more than 550 quantum optical components and 16 photon sources on a state-of-the-art single silicon chip, enabling universal generation, control, and analysis of multidimensional entanglement. The results illustrate the power of an integrated quantum optics approach for developing quantum technologies. Science , this issue p. 285 Large-scale integrated quantum optical circuitry is demonstrated on a single silicon chip. The ability to control multidimensional quantum systems is central to the development of advanced quantum technologies. We demonstrate a multidimensional integrated quantum photonic platform able to generate, control, and analyze high-dimensional entanglement. A programmable bipartite entangled system is realized with dimensions up to 15 × 15 on a large-scale silicon photonics quantum circuit. The device integrates more than 550 photonic components on a single chip, including 16 identical photon-pair sources. We verify the high precision, generality, and controllability of our multidimensional technology, and further exploit these abilities to demonstrate previously unexplored quantum applications, such as quantum randomness expansion and self-testing on multidimensional states. Our work provides an experimental platform for the development of multidimensional quantum technologies.

Design of an Integrated Optics Sensor Structure Based on Diamond Waveguide for Hemoglobin Property Detection
This manuscript presents a theoretical analysis of a diamond-based integrated optics structure for applications in biosensors. The geometrical, optical, and sensitivity properties of an integrated optical structure were theoretically analyzed and optimized for biosensor applications. The analysis focused on determining the waveguide properties, including the effective refractive index Neff as a function of refractive index nw and thickness dw of waveguide layer, refractive index of the hemoglobin cover layer ncH and substrate layer ns, homogeneous sensitivity dNeff/dncH, and modal field distribution of guided waveguide modes. The analysis was completed for two types of waveguide layer materials: undoped or boron-doped diamond films with or without the hemoglobin cover layer. The presented experimental results form a base for developing biosensor structures based on integrated optics for determining the properties of hemoglobin.

422 Million intrinsic quality factor planar integrated all-waveguide resonator with sub-MHz linewidth
High quality-factor (Q) optical resonators are a key component for ultra-narrow linewidth lasers, frequency stabilization, precision spectroscopy and quantum applications. Integration in a photonic waveguide platform is key to reducing cost, size, power and sensitivity to environmental disturbances. However, to date, the Q of all-waveguide resonators has been relegated to below 260 Million. Here, we report a Si

These results are achieved through a careful reduction of scattering and absorption losses that we simulate, quantify and correlate to measurements. This advancement in waveguide resonator technology paves the way to all-waveguide Billion Q cavities for applications including nonlinear optics, atomic clocks, quantum photonics and high-capacity fiber communications.
Integrated photonic all-waveguide resonators are a critical component in many future applications. Here the authors develop an optimized photonic all-waveguide resonator with an ultra-high quality factor, Q, of almost half a billion, and a narrow sub-MHz linewidth.
