Optical machine learning has emerged as an important research area that, by leveraging the advantages inherent to optical signals, such parallelism and high speed, paves way for a future where hardware can process data at speed of light. In this work, we present devices processing in form single-layer nanoscale holographic perceptrons trained perform inference tasks. We experimentally show functionality these passive example decryptors single or whole classes keys through symmetric...

Abstract Retrieving the pupil phase of a beam path is central problem for optical systems across scales, from telescopes, where information allows aberration correction, to imaging near-transparent biological samples in contrast microscopy. Current retrieval schemes rely on complex digital algorithms that process data acquired precise wavefront sensors, reconstructing at great expense computational resources. Here, we present compact optical-electronic module based multi-layered diffractive...

We present SU-8 polymer waveguide grating couplers for TE mode with enhanced refractive index contrast by employing air as upper and lower cladding layer. Numerical simulations predict a coupling loss of 4.9 dB, indicating efficiency 32% at maximum spectral response 1550 nm. Based on lamination method, air-suspended were successfully fabricated characterized. Due to current limitations in the fabrication process, perturbation experimental is weaker than original simulation. However,...

Integrated photonic resonators based on bound states in the continuum (BICs) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform have potential for novel, mass-manufacturable resonant devices. While nature of BIC-based ridge requires to be extended (axial) propagation direction mode, requirement excitation from quasi-continuum extends resonator structures also lateral dimensions, resulting large device footprints.

Nanoscale plasmonic structures can offer unique functionality due to extreme sub-wavelength optical confinement, but the realization of complex circuits is hampered by high propagation losses. Hybrid approaches potentially overcome this limitation, only few practical based on either single or element arrays nanoantennas dielectric nanowire have been experimentally demonstrated. In paper, we demonstrate a two dimensional hybrid photonic crystal interfaced with standard silicon platform. Off...
