Optical coupling in silicon photonics addresses the fundamental challenge of efficiently transferring light between optical fibres or external sources and high-index-contrast silicon waveguides. The ...

To build light-based quantum technologies, scientists and engineers need the ability to generate and manipulate photons as individuals or a few at a time. To build such quantum photonic logic gates ...

Electro-optic modulators (EOMs) are cardinal elements in the optical communication networks that control the amplitude, phase and polarization of a light via external electric signals. Aiming to ...

2D van der Waals magnetic/non-magnetic heterojunctions hold significant promise for spintronic devices. Achieving these functionalities hinges on the interfacial proximity effect, a critical factor.

The research team achieved the hybrid spin-orbit coupling-driven optical spin Hall effect at room temperature for the first time through an organic microcavity structure. The device is a Fabry–Perot ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new way to make spatially separated lasers synchronize and act as a single coherent light source—without extreme conditions or complex materials.

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED), which focuses on the strong coupling between single quantum emitters and optical cavities, has emerged as a core foundation for developing next-generation ...

Commercialization has started for network switches based on co-packaged optics (CPO), which are capable of routing signals at terabits per second speeds, but manufacturing challenges remain regarding ...
