We examine gated-Geiger mode operation of an integrated waveguide-coupled Ge-on-Si
lateral avalanche photodiode (APD) and demonstrate single photon detection at low dark …

We report the first complete 10G silicon photonic ring modulator with integrated ultra-efficient
CMOS driver and closed-loop wavelength control. A selective substrate removal technique …

We present experimental results for a selective epitaxially grown Ge-on-Si separate
absorption and charge multiplication (SACM) integrated waveguide coupled avalanche …

We describe and experimentally demonstrate a method for active control of resonant
modulators and filters in an integrated photonics platform. Variations in resonance frequency …

We present an overview of the main achievements obtained in 2013 on the monitoring,
stabilization, and feedback loop control of passive and active photonic integrated circuits …

Photonic network-on-chip (PNoC) is a promising candidate to replace traditional electrical
NoC in manycore systems that require substantial bandwidths. The photonic links in the …

Energy-efficiency has become a critical parameter in the design of high-performance
computing systems. Typically, compute elements consume the most energy in current …

Microring resonator devices require thermal initialization to match their intended operating
wavelengths in a process called wavelength locking. We use the dither technique, where we …
