Author(s)
Hojoong Jung, Su P. Yu, David Carlson, Tara E. Drake, Travis Briles, Scott Papp
Integrated photonics plays a central role in modern science and technology, enabling experiments from nonlinear science to quantum information, ultraprecise measurements and sensing, and advanced applications like data communication and signal processing

Spontaneous Pulse Formation in Edgeless Photonic Crystal Resonators

April 29, 2021
Author(s)
Su P. Yu, Daniel Cole, Hojoong Jung, Gregory Moille, Kartik Srinivasan, Scott Papp
Complex systems are a proving ground for fundamental interactions between components and their collective emergent phenomena. Through intricate design, integrated photonics offers intriguing nonlinear inter- actions that create new patterns of light. In

Group-velocity dispersion engineering of tantalum pentoxide integrated photonics

February 9, 2021
Author(s)
Jennifer Black, Richelle H. Streater, Kieran F. LaMee, David Carlson, Su P. Yu, Scott Papp
Designing integrated photonics, especially to leverage Kerr-nonlinear optics, requires accurate and precise knowledge of refractive index across the visible to infrared spectral ranges. Tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5, tantala) is an emerging material platform

Hybrid InP and SiN integration of an octave-spanning frequency comb

February 2, 2021
Author(s)
Travis Briles, Su P. Yu, Lin Chang, Chao Xiang, Joel Guo, David Kinghorn, Gregory Moille, Kartik Srinivasan, John E. Bowers, Scott Papp
Implementing optical-frequency combs with integrated photonics will enable wider use of precision timing signals. Here, we explore the generation of an octave-span, Kerr-microresonator frequency comb, using hybrid integration of an InP distributed-feedback

Nanophotonic tantala waveguides for supercontinuum generation pumped at 1560 nm

July 22, 2020
Author(s)
Kieran F. LaMee, David Carlson, Zachary Newman, Su P. Yu, Scott Papp
We experimentally demonstrate efficient and broadband supercontinuum generation in nonlinear tantala (Ta2O5) waveguides using a 1560 nm femtosecond seed laser. With incident pulse energies as low as 100 pJ, we create spectra spanning up to 1.6 octaves

Milliwatt-threshold visible-telecom optical parametric oscillation using silicon nanophotonics

December 20, 2019
Author(s)
Xiyuan Lu, Gregory Moille, Anshuman Singh, Qing Li, Daron Westly, Ashutosh Rao, Su P. Yu, Travis Briles, Scott Papp, Kartik Srinivasan
The on-chip creation of coherent light at visible wavelengths is of interest to many applications in spectroscopy, sensing, and metrology. Towards that goal, here we propose and demonstrate the first on-chip visible-telecom optical parameteric oscillator

Broadband Resonator-Waveguide Coupling for Efficient Extraction of Octave Spanning Microcombs

October 1, 2019
Author(s)
Gregory Moille, Qing Li, Travis Briles, Su P. Yu, Tara E. Drake, Xiyuan Lu, Ashutosh Rao, Daron Westly, Scott Papp, Kartik Srinivasan
Frequency combs spanning over an octave have been successfully demonstrated on-chip in Kerr nonlinear microresonators, thanks to their large effective nonlinearity and ability to support a suitable dispersion profile. Efficient extraction of intracavity

Photonic-crystal-reflector nano-resonators for Kerr-frequency combs

July 8, 2019
Author(s)
Su P. Yu, Hojoong Jung, Travis Briles, Kartik Srinivasan, Scott Papp
We demonstrate Kerr-frequency-comb generation with photonic-crystal-reflector (PCR) resonators, which is nanofabricated in a Fabry-Perot geometry. The group-velocity-dispersion (GVD) engineered photonic-crystal reflectors counteract the strong normal GVD

Efficient telecom-to-visible spectral translation through ultra-low power nonlinear nanophotonics
