Optimizations of Defect Filter Layers for 1.3-μm InAs/GaAs Quantum-Dot Lasers Monolithically Grown on Si Substrates
Mingchu Tang,Siming Chen,Jiang Wu,Qi Jiang,Kenneth Kennedy,Pamela Jurczak,Mengya Liao,Richard Beanland,Alwyn J. Seeds,Huiyun Liu +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the defect filter layers (DFLs) were introduced to reduce threading dislocations at the interface between III-V and Si, which led to device degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated Semiconductor Laser Optical Phase Lock Loops
TL;DR: In this paper, a monolithic integrated optical phase lock loop (OPLL) was proposed for coherent detection using photonic integration technology and the first OPLL was created using foundry fabricated photonic integrated circuits and off-the-shelf electronic components.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A high responsivity, broadband waveguide uni-travelling carrier photodiode
Cyril C. Renaud,Michael J. Robertson,D. C. Rogers,R. Firth,P. J. Cannard,R. Moore,Alwyn J. Seeds +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 2 A/W responsivity waveguide-uni-travelling carrier photodiode with a -3 dB electrical frequency response > 108 GHz is demonstrated.
Patent
Optical transmission system
TL;DR: In this article, the same optical local oscillator is used to drive both the photodiode down converter and the integrated optic single sideband up converter to ensure input/output coherence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coherent terahertz photonics.
Alwyn J. Seeds,Martyn J. Fice,Katarzyna Balakier,Michele Natrella,Oleg Mitrofanov,Marco Lamponi,Mourad Chtioui,Frederic van Dijk,Michael Pepper,Gabriel Aeppli,A. Giles Davies,Paul Dean,Edmund H. Linfield,Cyril C. Renaud +13 more
TL;DR: To demonstrate how photonics-enabled THz systems can be realized, the performance of key components are reviewed, recent demonstrations of integrated platforms are shown, and examples of applications are given.
