TL;DR: This work reports the direct detection and exploitation of transverse optical forces in an integrated silicon photonic circuit through an embedded nanomechanical resonator, which enables all-optical operation of nanitechanical systems on a CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor)-compatible platform, with substantial bandwidth and design flexibility compared to conventional electrical-based schemes.

TL;DR: A platform for real-time binding assays on sensor arrays based on silicon ring resonators is presented in this article, where an array of 32 sensors is interrogated simultaneously and 24 simultaneous binding curves are produced.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of disorder in quantum transport using a nanophotonic processor is fully mapped using a mesh of 88 generalized beamsplitters programmable on microsecond timescales.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to design, build and test chips internally, rather than leveraging shared shared CMOS foundry infrastructure, which is a common practice for many research groups.

TL;DR: A novel mechanism for low power optical detection and modulation in a slotted waveguide geometry filled with nonlinear electro-optic polymers is demonstrated, suggesting that a new class of detectors based on nonlinear optics may be practical.
