Design of a Fano Resonance Based Microring Modulator Using Phase Transition of Vanadium Oxide
* Mir Hammadi, Queen's University, Canada Muhammad Alam, Queen's University, Canada We present the design of a silicon microring modulator that utilizes Fano resonance for modulation of optical signal. The modulation is achieved by using the phase transition of a vanadium oxide (VO2) nano pillar. It offers a combination of large extinction ratio, low insertion loss and potentially high speed and low power consumption. |

Probabilistic computing: A new opportunity for semiconductor photonics
* Giovanni Finocchio, University of Messina, Italy The idea of probabilistic computing is old as the one of quantum computing. Here, the main advancements in term of annealing schemes and hardware implementation of probabilistic solvers will be discussed and compare with a window on how semiconductor photonics can jump into it with a great impact. |

Silicon nanostructures for nonlinear and optomechanical applications
Paula Nuño Ruano, C2N Jianhao Zhang, NRC Canada David González-Andrade, C2N Hiba El Batoul Ferhat, C2N Thi Thuy Duong Dinh, C2N David Medina-Quiroz, C2N Samson Edmond, C2N Pavel Cheben, NRC Canada Delphine Marris-Morini, C2N Eric Cassan, C2N Laurent Vivien, C2N Norberto Daniel Lanzillotti-Kimura, C2N * Carlos Alonso Ramos, C2N, France Subwavelength silicon nanostructures provide unprecedented flexibility in the control of optomechanical and nonlinear effects. In this invited presentation, we will show our most recent results on the use of nanostructures for the optimization of Kerr nonlinearities silicon. We will also discuss our recent advances in the use of subwavelength silicon nanostructures to engineer photons and phonons in suspended and non-suspended optomechanical cavities |
