Silicon-based Nonlinear Optical Signal Processing
This Spotlight reviews the recent progress in chip-scale optical signal processing based on silicon photonics platforms. Topics include wavelength conversion and signal regeneration based on degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) in a silicon waveguide; two types of wavelength conversion via amplitude modulation; four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) signal regeneration; high-speed optical binary logic and high-base computing; and hybrid computing functions. The book describes how to implement an optical data exchange based on the parametric depletion effect of a non-degenerate FWM process. The role of resonant structures and graphene in silicon waveguide devices to enhance nonlinear interactions is also discussed.
Quantum Nano-Photonics
This book brings together more closely researchers working in the two fields of quantum optics and nano-optics and provides a general overview of the main topics of interest in applied and fundamental research. The contributions cover, for example, single-photon emitters and emitters of entangled photon pairs based on epitaxially grown semiconductor quantum dots, nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond as single-photon emitters, coupled quantum bits based on trapped ions, integrated waveguide superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, quantum nano-plasmonics, nanosensing, quantum aspects of biophotonics and quantum metamaterials. The articles span the bridge from pedagogical introductions on the fundamental principles to the current state-of-the-art, and are authored by pioneers and leaders in the field. Numerical simulations are presented as a powerful tool to gain insight into the physical behavior of nanophotonic systems and provide a critical complement to experimental investigations and design of devices.
All-Optical Signal Processing
This book provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the art of optical signal processing technologies and devices. It presents breakthrough solutions for enabling a pervasive use of optics in data communication and signal storage applications. It presents presents optical signal processing as solution to overcome the capacity crunch in communication networks. The book content ranges from the development of innovative materials and devices, such as graphene and slow light structures, to the use of nonlinear optics for secure quantum information processing and overcoming the classical Shannon limit on channel capacity and microwave signal processing. Although it holds the promise for a substantial speed improvement, today’s communication infrastructure optics remains largely confined to the signal transport layer, as it lags behind electronics as far as signal processing is concerned. This situation will change in the near future as the tremendous growth of data traffic requires energy efficient and fully transparent all-optical networks. The book is written by leaders in the field.
