The Photonic hybRid EleCtromagnetic SolvEr (PRECISE) is a Matlab based library to model large and complex photonics integrated circuits. Each circuit is modularly described in terms of waveguide segments connected through multiport nodes. Linear, nonlinear, and dynamical phenomena are simulated by solving the system of differential equations describing the effect to be considered. By exploiting the steady state approximation of the electromagnetic field within each node device, the library can handle large and complex circuits even on desktop PC. We show that the steady state assumption is fulfilled in a broad number of applications and we compare its accuracy with analytical model (coupled mode theory) and experimental results. PRECISE is highly modular and easily extensible to handle equations different from those already implemented and is, thus, a flexible tool to model the increasingly complex photonic circuits.

In a recent investigation, we studied two-dimensional point-defected photonic bandgap cavities composed of dielectric rods arranged according to various representative periodic and aperiodic lattices, with special emphasis on possible applications to particle acceleration (along the longitudinal axis). In this paper, we present a new study aimed at highlighting the possible advantages of using hybrid structures based on the above dielectric configurations, but featuring metallic rods in the outermost regions, for the design of extremely-high quality factor, bandgap-based, accelerating resonators. In this framework, we consider diverse configurations, with different (periodic and aperiodic) lattice geometries, sizes, and dielectric/metal fractions. Moreover, we also explore possible improvements attainable via the use of superconducting plates to confine the electromagnetic field in the longitudinal direction. Results from our comparative studies, based on numerical full-wave simulations backed by experimental validations (at room and cryogenic temperatures) in the microwave region, identify the candidate parametric configurations capable of yielding the highest quality factor.
The Trotter-Suzuki approximation leads to an efficient algorithm for solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation. Using existing highly optimized CPU and GPU kernels, we developed a distributed version of the algorithm that runs efficiently on a cluster. Our implementation also improves single node performance, and is able to use multiple GPUs within a node. The scaling is close to linear using the CPU kernels, whereas the efficiency of GPU kernels improve with larger matrices. We also introduce a hybrid kernel that simultaneously uses multicore CPUs and GPUs in a distributed system. This kernel is shown to be efficient when the matrix size would not fit in the GPU memory. Larger quantum systems scale especially well with a high number nodes. The code is available under an open source license.
Designing modern photonic devices often involves traversing a large parameter space via an optimization procedure, gradient based or otherwise, and typically results in the designer performing electromagnetic simulations of correlated devices. In this paper, we present an approach to accelerate the Generalized Minimal Residual (GMRES) algorithm for the solution of frequency-domain Maxwells equations using two machine learning models (principal component analysis and a convolutional neural network) trained on simulations of correlated devices. These data-driven models are trained to predict a subspace within which the solution of the frequency-domain Maxwells equations lie. This subspace can then be used for augmenting the Krylov subspace generated during the GMRES iterations. By training the proposed models on a dataset of grating wavelength-splitting devices, we show an order of magnitude reduction ($sim 10 - 50$) in the number of GMRES iterations required for solving frequency-domain Maxwells equations.
A key resource for quantum optics experiments is an on-demand source of single and multiple photon states at telecommunication wavelengths. This letter presents a heralded single photon source based on a hybrid technology approach, combining high efficiency periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides, low-loss laser inscribed circuits, and fast (>1 MHz) fibre coupled electro-optic switches. Hybrid interfacing different platforms is a promising route to exploiting the advantages of existing technology and has permitted the demonstration of the multiplexing of four identical sources of single photons to one output. Since this is an integrated technology, it provides scalability and can immediately leverage any improvements in transmission, detection and photon production efficiencies.
We developed a fast numerical algorithm for solving the three dimensional vectorial Helmholtz equation that arises in electromagnetic scattering problems. The algorithm is based on electric field integral equations and is essentially a boundary element method. Nystroms quadrature rule with a triangular grid is employed to linearize the integral equations, which are then solved by using a right-preconditioned iterative method. We apply the fast multipole technique to accelerate the matrix-vector multiplications in the iterations. We demonstrate the broad applications and accuracy of this method with practical examples including dielectric, plasmonic and metallic objects. We then apply the method to investigate the plasmonic properties of a silver torus and a silver split-ring resonator under the incidence of an electromagnetic plane wave. We show the silver torus can be used as a trapping tool to bind small dielectric or metallic particles.
