We propose a joint look-up-table (LUT)-based nonlinear predistortion and digital resolution enhancement scheme to achieve high-speed and low-cost optical interconnects using low-resolution digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The LUT-based predistortion is employed to mitigate the pattern-dependent effect (PDE) of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), while the digital resolution enhancer (DRE) is utilized to shape the quantization noise, lowering the requirement for the resolution of DAC. We experimentally demonstrate O-band intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) transmission of 124-GBd 4 / 6-level pulse-amplitude modulation ( PAM ) -4 / 6 and 112-GBd PAM-8 signals over a 2-km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) with 3 / 3.5 / 4-bit DACs. In the case of 40-km SSMF transmission with an SOA-based preamplifier, 124-GBd on-off-keying (OOK)/PAM-3/PAM-4 signals are successfully transmitted with 1.5 / 2 / 3-bit DACs. To the best of our knowledge, we have achieved the highest net data rates of 235.3-Gb / s PAM-4, 289.7-Gb / s PAM-6, and 294.7 Gb / s PAM-8 signals over 2-km SSMF, as well as 117.6-Gb / s OOK, 173.8-Gb / s PAM-3, and -231.8 Gb / s PAM-4 signals over 40-km SSMF, employing low-resolution DACs. The experimental results reveal that the joint LUT-based predistortion and DRE effectively mitigate the PDE and improve the signal-to-quantization noise ratio by shaping the noise. The proposed scheme can provide a powerful solution for low-cost IM/DD optical interconnects beyond 200 Gb / s.

Excitons have significant impacts on the properties of semiconductors. They exhibit significantly different properties when a direct semiconductor turns in to an indirect one by doping. Huybrecht variational method is also found to influence the study of exciton ground state energy and ground state binding energy in AlxGa1?xAs semiconductor spherical quantum dots. The AlxGa1?xAs is considered to be a direct semiconductor at Al concentration below 0.45, and an indirect one at the concentration above 0.45. With regards to the former, the ground state binding energy increases and decreases with Al concentration and eigenfrequency, respectively; however, while the ground state energy increases with Al concentration, it is marginally influenced by eigenfrequency. On the other hand, considering the latter, while the ground state binding energy increases with Al concentration, it decreases with eigenfrequency; nevertheless, the ground state energy increases both with Al concentration and eigenfrequency. Hence, for the better practical performance of the semiconductors, the properties of the excitons are suggested to vary by adjusting Al concentration and eigenfrequency

In this work, a novel one-time-programmable memory unit based on a Schottky-type p-GaN diode is proposed. During the programming process, the junction switches from a high-resistance state to a low-resistance state through Schottky junction breakdown, and the state is permanently preserved. The memory unit features a current ratio of more than 103, a read voltage window of 6 V, a programming time of less than 10?4 s, a stability of more than 108 read cycles, and a lifetime of far more than 10 years. Besides, the fabrication of the device is fully compatible with commercial Si-based GaN process platforms, which is of great significance for the realization of low-cost read-only memory in all-GaN integration.

半导体激光器在光通信、生物医疗、激光雷达等领域中得到广泛应用,其单模稳定输出特性一直是国内外的研究热点。制备了一种基于表面高阶曲线光栅的宽脊波导半导体激光器,刻蚀曲线型高阶光栅后高阶横模损耗远大于基横模损耗,同时设置宽脊电流限制注入结构,使得高阶横模激射阈值高于基横模阈值,从而改善器件的横模特性并压窄光谱线宽。利用温控模块将器件的工作温度控制为18 ℃,对腔长为2 mm、条宽为500 μm的器件进行测试,在0.5 A电流下测得慢轴发散角为5.3°,快轴发散角为29.2°,在1 A驱动电流下测得3 dB光谱线宽为0.173 nm,边模抑制比为22.6 dB。实验结果表明,表面高阶曲线光栅对宽脊波导半导体激光器中的高阶横模起到了抑制作用且能够压窄光谱线宽,有助于实现半导体激光器的单模稳定输出,同时器件采用紫外光刻工艺,大幅降低了器件的制备难度。

由于硫系玻璃具有良好的光学性质,在非线性光学等方面研究广泛,但基于硫系玻璃光电探测器的相关研究却很少。本文利用真空共热蒸发技术制备了不同掺银比例的硫系玻璃薄膜作为半导体膜层结构,并设计构建了金属-绝缘体-半导体结构的自供电光电探测器,探究了该光电探测器的响应光谱范围。结果表明,该探测器对可见光到近红外区域的光均有响应。针对掺银硫系玻璃光电探测器在635 nm波长激光下,研究了探测器响应电压与激发功率之间的关系。当激光功率小于10 mW时,探测器响应电压与激发功率线性相关;当激光功率大于10 mW时,探测器响应电压逐渐饱和。探测器的上升和衰减时间分别为3.932 s和1.522 s。本研究为硫系玻璃材料在自供电光电探测器领域的应用提供了证明。
