TL;DR: An overview of the current state-of-the-art in silicon nanophotonic ring resonators is presented in this paper, where the basic theory of ring resonance is discussed and applied to the peculiarities of submicron silicon photonic wire waveguides: the small dimensions and tight bend radii, sensitivity to perturbations and the boundary conditions of the fabrication processes.

TL;DR: In this paper , a 40-channel DWDM architecture and platform fabrication are discussed, followed by experimental demonstration of each high-quality building block, and a successful 8 × 25 Gb/s link demonstration paves the way for the world's first fully-integrated 3DV-on-silicon PIC on Si with Terabit/s aggregated bandwidth and energy efficiency likely to ∼100 fJ/bit.

TL;DR: A network of coupled photonic crystal cavities with a lot of power stored in the cavity gives rise to interesting nonlinear effects and it is shown that photonic reservoirs can outperform classical software-based reservoirs on a pattern generation task.

TL;DR: In this paper, an evolutionary fitting algorithm based on the covariance matrix adaptation method is used to match the circuit simulation with the measurement, which can be used to extract the parameters in real time, and correlate the functional parameters of the waveguides with process statistics collected during fabrication.

TL;DR: Four applications are quantitatively evaluated to highlight the capabilities: improved data pattern storage, improved robustness to noise and variability, reduced energy and latency performance, and an application to solving Boolean satisfiability optimization problems.
