Item Controlling Microring Resonator Extinction Ratio via Metal-Halide Perovskite Nonlinearity(Advanced Optical Materials, 2021-09-09) Wang, Feifan; Zhao, Lianfeng; Xiao, Yahui; Li, Tiantian; Wang, Yixiu; Soman, Anishkumar; Lee, Hwaseob; Kananen, Thomas; Hu, Xiaoyong; Rand, Barry P.; Gu, TingyiThe exceptionally high optical nonlinearities, wide bandgap, and homogeneity in solution-processed metal-halide perovskite media are utilized as optical nonlinear elements on a silicon photonic platform for low-power-active components, such as all-optical switches, modulators, and lasers. With room temperature back-end-of-line compatible processing, a hybrid metal-halide perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) microring resonator (MRR) structure is fabricated on a foundry-processed low-loss silicon photonic platform. With in-plane exci-tation near the light intensity of 110 W m−2, strong two-photon absorption and free-carrier absorption saturation are observed. With 103 field enhancements by MRRs, the photorefractive effect in the metal-halide perovskite reduces linear absorption, represented by 102 improvement of the MRR’s intrinsic quality factor and 20 dB enhancement of the extinction ratio.Item Photocatalytic Oxidation in Few-Layer Tellurene for Loss-Invariant Integrated Photonic Resonance Trimming(Advanced Optical Materials, 2023-05-05) Mao, Dun; Wang, Yixiu; Lee, Hwaseob; Chang, Lorry; Wang, Feifan; Wu, Darren; Xiao, Yahui; Sun, Boshu; Ullah, Kaleem; Booksh, Karl; Wu, Wenzhuo; Gu, TingyiTwo-dimensional (2D) materials with unique physicochemical properties promote photocatalytic activities. As the 2D material composites research studies the statistical average of complex catalytic behaviors, an integrated photonic platform allows for clean and single flake level photo-catalytic investigations with precisely quantified photocatalytic activities. In this paper, fluence-dependent photo-oxidation in two-dimensional Tellurene (2D Te) is tracked by the evanescently coupled micro-resonator. Nearly 32% of oxidation is achieved in ≈10 nm 2D Te flake, compared to only 4.5% oxidation in a 30 nm sample, probed by the resonance shift in silicon micro-ring resonators substrate. The wider bandgap in the few layers of 2D Te allows faster charge transfer to adsorbed oxygen for a more efficient photocatalytic redox reaction. The photo-oxidation in hybrid 2D Te results in invariant lineshapes of optical transmission resonance for wavelength trimming (more than 3× resonance bandwidth). The low threshold power, near-infrared, and in-waveguide resonance trimming scheme is compatible with most integrated photonic setups for easy fixing of the nanofabrication-induced random resonance deviation for integrated photonic circuit applications in wavelength-division-multiplexing systems and spin qubits quantum computing.
