    Description: Gold nanorods (GNRs) with surface plasmon resonance peak at 1063.8 nm were fabricated and experimentally exploited as the single and combined saturable absorber (SA) in a $Q$ -switched Nd:YAG laser for the first time. In the situation using GNRs as a single SA, the maximum pulse energy of 19 $muhbox{J} $ was achieved at a pulse repetition rate of 20 kHz. However, due to the small effective modulation depth of the GNRs, microsecond pulses were generated in such a GNRs-based passively $Q$ -switched laser. A novel configuration using GNRs as a combined SA in an acoustooptic $Q$ -switched Nd:YAG laser was proposed. The small nonlinear loss modulation induced by the GNRs played a distinctive role in flexibly manipulating the nanosecond pulse waveforms. Our study demonstrated the feasibility of generating high-energy pulses by singly using GNRs-based SA in all solid-state lasers. Meanwhile, a new application mode incorporating GNRs as a combined SA was studied, providing an alternative method to take advantage of the nanomaterial-based SA with a relatively small modulation depth.

    Description: This paper proposes the improved design of an ultraviolet (UV)- and-blue-light-inhibited white light-emitting diode for use as a safe and practical light source. Covered with a glass substrate coated with a photocatalyst resin on one side and a reflectance film on the other side, wavelengths below 400 nm are reflected back to re-excite the red–green–blue phosphors and, consequently, enhance luminous efficiency. The absorption spectrum of bismuth oxide photocatalysts is below 521 nm, and the leaked UV and blue light can be absorbed, thereby exciting electron–hole pairs and producing the photocatalytic effect. Thus, blue light and UV leakage can be suppressed appreciably, and the luminous efficiency can be increased markedly. Experimental results showed a UV suppression ratio of 88.43% and a visible light increasing ratio of 21.66%. The Commission International de L'Eclairage chromaticity coordinates $(x,y)$ were (0.343, 0.404), the correlated color temperature and the deviation from de Blackbody locus were (5201 K, 0.0250), and the color rendering index was 93.16. In addition, the photocatalyst coating layer can act as a diffuser to provide a comfortable visual experience and facilitate environmental purification.

    Description: Metamaterial-based perfect absorbers have attracted considerable attention due to their potential for practical applications. The existing absorbers, however, are mostly polarization insensitive or only sensitive to one direction, which is inapplicable in some areas. Polarization tunable or high absorption in two orthogonal directions is very useful and necessary. Herein, we present a polarization tunable absorber formed by an asymmetric patch and a dielectric layer on top of a metallic board. With this structure, the frequency of the absorber can be tuned by merely changing the polarization of the incident. The tunable mechanism originates from the different length of the patch along the two orthogonal directions. The concept is rather general and applicable to various absorbers, as long as the asymmetric design is valid. The absorber can find practical applications in manipulation of the polarization of the light and detecting waves with specific polarization.

    Description: We demonstrate low-voltage waveguide-coupled germanium avalanche photodetectors (APDs) with a (wafer-scale mean) gain $times$ bandwidth product of 140 GHz at $-$ 5 V by utilizing a 185-nm-thick Ge layer. An optical receiver based on such an APD operating up to 25 Gb/s is demonstrated.

    Description: The two-, three-, and four-channel mapping multiplexing technique (MMT) is demonstrated to increase the data capacity of multilevel intensity-modulated transmission formats to 2, 3, and 4 bits/symbol with a substantial reduction in power penalty. This paper outlines the $N$ -channel MMT design metric consideration influence on the performance enhancement of higher order amplitude modulated systems in terms of power penalty, receiver sensitivity, and spectral efficiency. The signal space model has been developed for $N$ -channel MMT, where the average electrical and optical power expressions are derived. Transmission of 2, 3, and 4 bits/symbol using MMT system shows better performance in terms of the average optical power penalty, in comparison with pulse amplitude modulation (M-PAM) formats, with respect to the information capacity. The proposed scheme can be considered as an alternative to M-PAM systems with enhanced power efficiency.

    Description: Optical networks-on-chips (ONoCs) are burgeoning structures of communication that can give a solution to the bandwidth and latency for multiprocessor systems-on-chips. Furthermore, photonic devices are widely used in ONoCs but suffer from crosstalk noise. Therefore, crosstalk noise is the critical factor that affects signal transmission and limits the network scale of ONoCs. To reduce the crosstalk noise sharply, an angle optimization that uses the cross angle of 60 $^{circ}$ or 120 $^{circ}$ instead of the conventional angle of 90 $^{circ} $ is proposed to optimize the Crux router. Furthermore, we present a signal transmission system simulation model for the mesh-based ONoC. For different routers applied to the mesh-based ONoC, the simulation model can present the time-domain waveform, eye diagram, and bit-error-rate (BER) curve clearly. On the basis of the analytical model, the results show that the minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a 7 $times$ 7 mesh-based ONoC is 20.9 dB when using optimized Crux routers, and the injection power is equal to 0 dBm, which is 2.1 dB better than using Crux routers. Therefore, the application of angle optimization to the Crux router and mesh network can minimize crosstalk noise and improve the scalability of mesh-based ONoCs.

    Description: A working small-footprint asymmetrically and vertically coupled hybrid Si/GaN microring resonator (HMR) was demonstrated. The HMR of a minimum radius of 20 $muhbox{m}$ was fabricated in a high-yield ( $sim$ 90%) hybrid nanophotonic platform that allowed interactions between the GaN microring and the underlying Si waveguide circuit. The HMR's spectral response across the telecommunication C- and L-bands was measured. The high extinction ratio of up to 17 dB, the resonance linewidth as narrow as 40 pm, and the intrinsic quality factor of up to 70 000, which was the highest value for GaN microring reported so far, were achieved. The explicit analytical model for the high-index-contrast HMR was developed. Our basic study opened new possibilities for exploring GaN–Si nonlinear phenomena and for developing complex on-chip optical interconnects.

    Description: In the light-emitting-diode (LED) industry, it is a great challenge to simultaneously achieve high efficiency values and excellent light quality in practical applications. In this paper, we have designed microscale-roughness-controlled-surface modules to optimize rectified mellowness index, quantum efficiency, correlated color temperature, and color rendering index; we have also discovered a mechanism that reduces the total internal reflection trapped within the diffuser, maximizes phosphor fluorescence probabilities, and randomizes photon emissions. The first effect subsequently leads to the photon-propagation-direction rectification, such that incident photons are allowed to escape from the top but are discouraged to reversely exit from the bottom. In addition to the discovery of this mechanism, we have proposed a previously undefined criterion that evaluates the uniformity of various optical parameters exemplified by wavelengths, solid angles, and spatial distributions. Current findings offer a guide on future research for human-eye-comfort-related uniformities.

    Description: We experimentally investigate the wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) transmission of single-carrier 400G based on an orthogonal optical time-division multiplexed (orth-OTDM) 80-GBd polarization-division multiplexed (PDM) 8 quadrature-amplitude modulation (QAM) signal. The 80-GBd 8QAM signal is generated using the OTDM method based on two tributaries of time-domain orthogonal pulses with 40-GBd 8QAM signals. Full-band coherent detection is utilized with digital signal processing based on a single broadband receiver for the 80-GBd signals. The WDM transmission performance of single-carrier 400G signals within different channel grids and carrier spacing is also investigated. Finally, four 400G channels, each carrying an 80-GBd PDM-8QAM signal within 100-, 80-, and 75-GHz grids, are successfully transmitted over 1600-, 800-, and 400-km standard single-mode fibers with Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA)-only amplification below a pre-Forward error correction (FEC) bit-error rate (BER) of $2.4times10^{-2} $ (20% soft-decision FEC) , respectively. The achieved spectral efficiency for the 400G channel can be 4, 5, and 5.33 bit/s/Hz, respectively.

    Description: We design a series of plasmonic bowtie antennas with broadly varying resonant wavelengths from 1.34 to 3.36 $muhbox{m}$ under the same antenna footprint size. Based on the prototype of contour bowtie antennas (CBAs), we modify the geometry of CBAs with extensive resonant paths and, therefore, redshift resonances and maintain the gap enhancement factors, at least at the same level with that of the solid bowtie antenna.
