Atomically thin 2D materials provide a wide range of basic building blocks with unique properties, making them ideal for heterogeneous integration with a mature chip platform. An understanding the role of excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides in Silicon photonic platform is a prerequisite for advances in optical communication technology, signal processing, and possibly computing. Here we demonstrate passive tunable coupling by integrating few layers of MoTe2 on a micro-ring resonator. We find a TMD-to-rings circumference coverage length ratio to place the ring into critical coupling to be about 10% as determined from the variation of spectral resonance visibility and loss as a function of TMD coverage. Using this TMD ring heterostructure, we further demonstrate a semi-empirical method to determine the index of an unknown TMD material (nMoTe2 of 4.36+.011i) near for telecommunication-relevant wavelength.

We theoretically investigate and optimize the performance of four-wave mixing (FWM) in microring resonators (MRRs) integrated with two-dimensional (2D) layered graphene oxide (GO) films. Owing to the interaction between the MRRs and the highly nonlin ear GO films as well as to the resonant enhancement effect, the FWM efficiency in GO-coated MRRs can be significantly improved. Based on previous experiments, we perform detailed analysis for the influence of the GO film parameters and MRR coupling strength on the FWM conversion efficiency (CE) of the hybrid MRRs. By optimizing the device parameters to balance the trade-off between the Kerr nonlinearity and loss, we achieve a high CE enhancement of ~18.6 dB relative to the uncoated MRR, which is ~8.3 dB higher than previous experimental results. The influence of photo-thermal changes in the GO films as well as variations in the MRR parameters such as the ring radius and waveguide dispersion on the FWM performance is also discussed. These results highlight the significantly improved FWM performance that can be achieved in MRRs incorporating GO films and provide a guide for optimizing their FWM performance.
Layered two-dimensional (2D) materials provide a wide range of unique properties as compared to their bulk counterpart, making them ideal for heterogeneous integration for on-chip interconnects. Hence, a detailed understanding of the loss and index c hange on Si integrated platform is a prerequisite for advances in opto-electronic devices impacting optical communication technology, signal processing, and possibly photonic-based computing. Here, we present an experimental guide to characterize transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), once monolithically integrated into the Silicon photonic platform at 1.55 um wavelength. We describe the passive tunable coupling effect of the resonator in terms of loss induced as a function of 2D material layer coverage length and thickness. Further, we demonstrate a TMD-ring based hybrid platform as a refractive index sensor where resonance shift has been mapped out as a function of flakes thickness which correlates well with our simulated data. These experimental findings on passive TMD-Si hybrid platform open up a new dimension by controlling the effective change in loss and index, which may lead to the potential application of 2D material based active on chip photonics.

The properties of the square array of coupled Microring Resonators (MRRs) with interstitial rings are studied. Dispersion behavior of the interstitial square coupled MRRs is obtained through the transfer matrix method with the Floquet-Bloch periodic condition. Analytical formulas of the eigen wave vectors, band gaps and eigen mode vectors are derived for the special cases of the interstitial square coupled MRRs array with identical couplers and the regular square coupled MRRs array without the interstitial rings. Then, the eigen modes field distribution are calculated for each of the four eigen wave vectors for a given frequency through the secular equation. Finally, numerical simulation is performed for an interstitial square coupled MRRs array with identical couplers and a regular square coupled MRRs array. The simulation result verifies the analytical analysis. Finally, the loaded quality factors of the interstitial 5-ring configuration, the regular 4-ring configuration and the 1-ring configuration are obtained. It is found that the loaded quality factor of the interstitial 5-ring configuration is up to 20 times and 8 times as high as those of the 1-ring configuration and the regular 4-ring configuration respectively, mainly due to the degenerated eigen modes at the resonant frequency. Thus, the interstitial square coupled MRRs array has the great potential to form high-quality integrated photonics components, including filters and resonance based sensing devices like the parity-time symmetric sensors.
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) has been demonstrated in silicon waveguides in recent years. However, due to the weak interaction between photons and acoustic phonons in these waveguides, long interaction length is typically necessary. Here, we experimentally show that forward stimulated Brillouin scattering in a short interaction length of a 20 um radius silicon microring resonator could give 1.2 dB peak gain at only 10mW coupled pump power. The experimental results demonstrate that both optical and acoustic modes can have efficient interaction in a short interaction length. The observed Brillouin gain varies with coupled pump power in good agreement with theoretical prediction. The work shows the potential of SBS in silicon for moving the demonstrated fiber SBS applications to the integrated silicon photonics platform.
The absence of the single-photon nonlinearity has been a major roadblock in developing quantum photonic circuits at optical frequencies. In this paper, we demonstrate a periodically-poled thin film lithium niobate microring resonator (PPLNMR) that re aches 5,000,000%/W second harmonic conversion efficiency---almost 20-fold enhancement over the state-of-the-art---by accessing its largest $chi^{(2)}$ tensor component $d_{33}$ via quasi-phase matching. The corresponding single photon coupling rate $g/2pi$ is estimated to be 1.2 MHz, which is an important milestone as it approaches the dissipation rate $kappa/2pi$ of best available lithium niobate microresonators developed in the community. Using a figure of merit defined as $g/kappa$, our devices reach a single photon nonlinearity approaching 1%. We show that, by further scaling of the device, it is possible to improve the single photon nonlinearity to a regime where photon-blockade effect can be manifested.
