A Solver Combination Strategy For Photonic Integrated Components


With the increasing demand for optical bandwidth, photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology is undergoing a growth rate very similar to the one seen by electronic integrated circuits over the last half-century. To keep up with the increasing number of components and circuit complexity, efficient and reliable automated design tools are necessary to carry out virtual prototyping, improve yield... » read more

Leveraging Quantum Light Within Deployable Quantum Sensors


A technical paper titled “Integrated quantum optical phase sensor in thin film lithium niobate” was published by researchers at Stanford University and NTT Research. Abstract: "The quantum noise of light, attributed to the random arrival time of photons from a coherent light source, fundamentally limits optical phase sensors. An engineered source of squeezed states suppresses this noise a... » read more

Neuromorphic photonic circuit modeling in Verilog-A


Abstract "One of the significant challenges in neuromorphic photonic architectures is the lack of good tools to simulate large-scale photonic integrated circuits. It is crucial to perform simulations on a single platform to capture the circuit’s behavior in the presence of both optical and electrical components. Here, we adopted a Verilog-A based approach to model neuromorphic photonic cir... » read more
