Higher-order soliton dynamics, specifically soliton compression and fission, underpin crucial applications in ultrafast optics, sensing, communications, and signal processing. Bragg solitons exploit the strong dispersive properties of periodic media near the photonic band edge, enabling soliton dynamics to occur on chip-scale propagation distances and opening avenues to harness soliton compression and fission in integrated photonic platforms. However, implementation in CMOS-compatible platforms has been hindered by the strong nonlinear loss that dominates the propagation of high-intensity pulses in silicon and the low-optical nonlinearity of traditional silicon nitride. Here, we present CMOS-compatible, on-chip Bragg solitons, with the largest soliton-effect pulse compression to date with a factor of x5.7, along with the first time-resolved measurements of soliton fission on a CMOS-compatible platform. These observations were enabled by the combination of unique cladding-modulated Bragg grating design, the high nonlinearity and negligible nonlinear loss of compositionally engineered ultra-silicon-rich nitride (USRN: Si7N3).

Aluminium based platforms have allowed to reach major milestones for superconducting quantum circuits. For the next generation of devices, materials that are able to maintain low microwave losses while providing new functionalities, such as large kin
etic inductance or compatibility with CMOS platform are sought for. Here we report on a combined direct current (DC) and microwave investigation of titanium nitride lms of dierent thicknesses grown using CMOS compatible methods. For microwave resonators made of TiN lm of thickness $sim$3 nm, we measured large kinetic inductance LK $sim$ 240 pH/sq, high mode impedance of $sim$ 4.2 k$Omega$ while maintaining microwave quality factor $sim$ 10^5 in the single photon limit. We present an in-depth study of the microwave loss mechanisms in these devices that indicates the importance of quasiparticles and provide insights for further improvement.
Coherent light sources in silicon photonics are the long-sought holy grail because silicon-based materials have indirect bandgap. Traditional strategies for realizing such sources, e.g., heterogeneous photonic integration, strain engineering and nonl
inear process, are technologically demanding. Here, we demonstrate a hybrid lasing device composing of perovskite nanocrystals and silicon nitride nanobeam cavity. We fabricate SiN photonic crystal naonobeam cavities on a solid substrate with significantly improved thermal and mechanical stabilities compared to conventional suspended ones. In addition, adding a PMMA-encapsulation layer on top of the SiN can significantly boost the Q-factor of the cavity mode. By dispersing perovskite nanocrystals as emitters in the PMMA layer, we obtained high-performance coherent emissions in terms of lasing threshold, linewidth and mode volumes. Our work offers a compelling way of creating solution-processed active integrated photonic devices based on the mature platform of silicon photonics for applications in optical information science and photonic quantum technology.
While soliton microcombs offer the potential for integration of powerful frequency metrology and precision spectroscopy systems, their operation requires complex startup and feedback protocols that necessitate difficult-to-integrate optical and elect
rical components. Moreover, CMOS-rate microcombs, required in nearly all comb systems, have resisted integration because of their power requirements. Here, a regime for turnkey operation of soliton microcombs co-integrated with a pump laser is demonstrated and theoretically explained. Significantly, a new operating point is shown to appear from which solitons are generated through binary turn-on and turn-off of the pump laser, thereby eliminating all photonic/electronic control circuitry. These features are combined with high-Q $Si_3N_4$ resonators to fully integrate into a butterfly package microcombs with CMOS frequencies as low as 15 GHz, offering compelling advantages for high-volume production.
Morphotropic phase boundaries (MPBs) show substantial piezoelectric and dielectric responses, which have practical applications. The predicted existence of MPB in HfO2-ZrO2 solid solution thin film has provided a new way to increase the dielectric pr
operties of a silicon-compatible device. Here, we present a new fabrication design by which the density of MPB and consequently the dielectric constant of HfO2-ZrO2 thin film was considerably increased. The density of MPB was controlled by fabrication of a 10-nm [1 nm-Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (Ferroelectric)/1 nm-ZrO2 (Antiferroelectric)] nanolaminate followed by an appropriate annealing process. The coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal structures, which are the origins of ferroelectric (FE) and antiferroelectric (AFE) behaviors, respectively, was structurally confirmed, and a double hysteresis loop that originates from AFE ordering, with some remnant polarization that originates from FE ordering, was observed in P-E curve. A remarkable increase in dielectric constant compared to the conventional HfO2-ZrO2 thin film was achieved by controlling the FE-AFE ratio. The fabrication process was performed at low temperature and the device is compatible with silicon technology, so the new design yields a device that has possible applications in near-future electronics.
We experimentally demonstrate broadband waveguide crossing arrays showing ultra low loss down to $0.04,$dB/crossing ($0.9%$), matching theory, and crosstalk suppression over $35,$dB, in a CMOS-compatible geometry. The principle of operation is the ta
ilored excitation of a low-loss spatial Bloch wave formed by matching the periodicity of the crossing array to the difference in propagation constants of the 1$^text{st}$- and 3$^text{rd}$-order TE-like modes of a multimode silicon waveguide. Radiative scattering at the crossing points acts like a periodic imaginary-permittivity perturbation that couples two supermodes, which results in imaginary (radiative) propagation-constant splitting and gives rise to a low-loss, unidirectional breathing Bloch wave. This type of crossing array provides a robust implementation of a key component enabling dense photonic integration.
