摘要： The future interconnect links in intra- and inter-chip require the photodetector with high bandwidth, ultra-wide waveband, compact footprint, low-cost, and compatible integration process with silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Here, we demonstrate a CMOS-compatible carbon nanotube (CNT) photodetector that exhibits high responsivity, high bandwidth and broad spectral operation over all optical telecommunication band based on high-purity CNT arrays. The ultrafast CNT photodetector demonstrates the 100 Gbit/s Nyquist-shaped on-off-keying (OOK) signal transmission, which can address the demand for high-speed optical interconnects in and between data centers. Furthermore, the photodetector exhibits a bandwidth over 60 GHz by scaling down the active area to 20 {\mu}m2. As the CNT photodetectors are fabricated by doping-free process, it also provides a cost-effective solution to integrate CNT photonic devices with CNT-based CMOS integrated circuits. Our work paves a way for future CNT-based high-speed optical interconnects and optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs).

摘要： Sorting quantum fields into different modes according to their Fock-space quantum numbers is a highly desirable quantum operation. In this Letter, we show that a pair of two-level emitters, chirally coupled to a waveguide, may scatter single- and two-photon components of an input pulse into orthogonal temporal modes with a fidelity $\gtrsim 0.9997$. We develop a general theory to characterize and optimize this process and observe an interesting dynamics in the two-photon scattering regime: while the first emitter gives rise to a complex multimode field, the second emitter recombines the field amplitudes and the net two-photon scattering induces a self-time reversal of the pulse mode. The presented scheme can be employed to construct logic elements for propagating photons, such as a deterministic nonlinear-sign gate with a fidelity $\gtrsim 0.9995$

摘要： We report the experimental observation of strong two-color optical nonlinearity in an ultracold gas of $^{85}\mathrm{Rb}$-$^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ atom mixture. By simultaneously coupling two probe transitions of $^{85}$Rb and $^{87}$Rb atoms to Rydberg states in electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) configurations, we observe significant suppression of the transparency resonance for one probe field when the second probe field is detuned at $\sim1~\mathrm{GHz}$ and hitting the EIT resonance of the other isotope. Such a cross-absorption modulation to the beam propagation dynamics can be described by two coupled nonlinear wave equations we develope. We further demonstrate that the two-color optical nonlinearity can be tuned by varying the density ratio of different atomic isotopes, which highlights its potential for exploring strongly interacting multi-component fluids of light.

摘要： The interplay between dissipation, topology and sensitivity to boundary conditions has recently attracted tremendous amounts of attention at the level of effective non-Hermitian descriptions. Here we exactly solve a quantum mechanical Lindblad master equation describing a dissipative topological Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain of fermions for both open boundary condition (OBC) and periodic boundary condition (PBC). We find that the extreme sensitivity on the boundary conditions associated with the non-Hermitian skin effect is directly reflected in the rapidities governing the time evolution of the density matrix giving rise to a Liouvillian skin effect. This leads to several intriguing phenomena including boundary sensitive damping behavior, steady state currents in finite periodic systems, and diverging relaxation times in the limit of large systems. We illuminate how the role of topology in these systems differs in the effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian limit and the full master equation framework.

摘要： Considering the rapid progress of theory, design, fabrication and applications, metasurface (MTS) has become a new research frontier in microwave, terahertz and optical bands. Reconfigurable metasurface (R-MTS) can dynamically modulate electromagnetic (EM) wave with unparalleled flexibility, which leads to great research tide in recent years. Numerous R-MTSs with powerful capabilities and various functions are presented explosively. In light of the five dimensions of EM wave, this review proposes a unified model to describe the interactions among R-MTS, EM wave and EM information, and suggests information bit allocation strategy to categorize different types of R-MTSs systematically. As recent advances of R-MTS, 1-bit and 2-bit elements manipulating different wave dimensions are reviewed respectively in detail. Finally, this review discusses the future research trends of R-MTS. Hopefully, R-MTSs with diverse dimensions and functions can propel the next generation of communication, detection, sensing, imaging and computing applications.
