The Ising machine (IM) has emerged as a promising tool for tackling nondeterministic polynomial-time hard combinatorial optimization problems in real-world applications. Among various types of IMs, optoelectronic IMs based on electro-optical (EO) modulators stand out an impressive platform computations.

Time-bin (TB) and energy-time (ET) entanglements are crucial resources for long-distance quantum information processing. However, their standard implementations suffer from the so-called post-selection loophole that allows classical simulation thus prevents advantage. The has been addressed in proof-of-principle experiments. An open problem though is to close it real-life applications based on integrated technologies. This especially important since, so far, all sources of TB ET loophole. Here, we report loophole-free certification or entanglement technologies, by implementing a silicon nitride chip “hug” scheme [ Phys. Rev.

With the ever-growing demand for high-speed optical communications, microwave photonics, and quantum key distribution systems, compact electro-optic (EO) modulators with high extinction ratios, large bandwidth, tuning efficiency are urgently pursued. However, most integrated lithium–niobate (LN) cannot achieve these performances simultaneously. In this paper, we propose an improved theoretical model of a chip-scale microring modulator (EO-MRM) based on X-cut lithium–niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) hybrid architecture consisting 180-degree Euler bend in coupling region, double-layer metal electrode structure, ground–signal–signal–ground (G-S-S-G) configuration, which can realize highly comprehensive performance footprint. After parameter optimization, designed EO-MRM exhibited ratio 38 dB. Compared to structure without bends, increase was 35 It also had modulation bandwidth 29 GHz tunability 8.24 pm/V when straight waveguide length 100 μm. At same time, proposed device footprint 1.92 × 104 μm2. The MRM provides efficient solution communication systems is helpful fabrication high-performance multifunctional photonic devices.

Achieving high data rate with simple system configuration and low power consumption is of great interest in short-reach intensity-modulation direct-detection (IM-DD) fiber links for future datacenter networks, business local area networks so forth. For external modulation-based IM-DD, recently remarkable modulator performance has been achieved terms 3dB bandwidth, exploiting different materials/platforms. However, due to the relatively-high RF-to-RF (or end-to-end) signal loss, optical amplifiers (OA) and/or RF (RFA) were typically needed IM-DD links, which increases complexity dissipation. In this work, we present a more comprehensive figure merit (FoM) (and link) design, namely "slope efficiency (SLE)", takes into account not only bandwidth but also half-wave voltage RF/optical waveguide losses, can provide guiding principle design toward lower loss. With high-SLE modulator, both OA RFA be omitted even when supporting broadband signals CMOS-level driving voltages. We theoretically investigate impact modulators technology SLE on pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) link.

Abstract Optical computing leverages high bandwidth, low latency, and power efficiency, which is considered as one of the most effective solutions for accelerating deep learning tasks. However, mainstream photonic hardware accelerators are primarily optimized two-dimensional (2D) matrix-vector multiplications (MVMs). To implement three-dimensional (3D) convolutional neural networks (CNNs), high-order tensors must be reshaped, duplicated, cached in electrical domain according to size before computation, leading extra memory usage time overheads. Additionally, synchronization across multiple channels depends on external electronic clocks, increases complexity system. In this work, we propose an integrated 3D tensor processing engine (3D-TPE) based interweaving time, wavelength, space. Data caching, realized optical domain, reducing usage, simplifying caching achieved with tunable delay line chip supporting versatile clock frequencies up 200 GHz, accomplished a dual-coupled micro-ring resonators (MRRs) crossbar 3-dB passband width 50 GHz. We verify capabilities 3D-TPE at ranging from 10 GHz 30 perform proof-of-concept experiment LiDAR point cloud image recognition task operating 20 achieving accuracy 97.06%. The proposed anticipated facilitate convolutions, playing important role autonomous driving, healthcare, video analytics, virtual reality, etc.
