Simulation and optimization of BaTiO3-based edge couplers
Having demonstrated conclusive results in both light guiding and modulations, BaTiO3 (BTO) presents great potential in demonstrating a monolithic integration of PICs. This platform could indeed present scalable circuits that include both the passive and active devices for high speed modulation. However The transmission's efficiency is currently limited by the fibers to chip losses. Edge couplers (EC) appear as a suitable approach to address this issue while guaranteeing a simplified layer stack.

Electro-optical frequency comb: CMOS based Electrical oscillator design
Optical frequency combs have emmerged with the need for precise measurement of optical frequencies. Since their first practical realisation, they’ve enabled a plethora of applications going way past metrology, such as optical and wireless communcations, spectroscopy ranging and radar. Electro optical frequency combs integrated within a plasmonic-photonic platform is a key tool for high resolution THz radars and high speed communication. A low phase noise electrical
oscillator represents a key element of such a platform
