With the explosive growth of global network traffic and the consequent increase in bandwidth and energy consumption required for data transmission, traditional electronic interconnection architectures are no longer able to meet the requirement of the growing bandwidth and energy conservation. Silicon-based photonics feWith the explosive growth of global network traffic and the consequent increase in bandwidth and energy consumption required for data transmission, traditional electronic interconnection architectures are no longer able to meet the requirement of the growing bandwidth and energy conservation. Silicon-based photonics featured as high bandwidth, low energy consumption, and more importantly, compatibility with Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technologies enables the large-scale Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) and Electronic Integrated Circuits (EIC) to be integrated in a single substrate, hence it is regarded as one of the most promising solutions to address these challenges. However, with the increasing frequency of signals and the increasing number of integrated photonics and electronic devices, parasitic effects are becoming more prominent, leading to a significant degradation in the integration density, bandwidth density, and energy efficiency of the chip. 2.5D/3D integration technologies can effectively reduce the electrical interconnect length and chip size, thus reducing parasitic effects and power consumption, as well as increasing integration density. This paper presents different schemes of silicon based optoelectronic integration and its recent advances, and looks forward to the application prospects of 2.5D/3D integration technologies in data communication, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), biochemical sensing, and optical computing, et al..

At present, the Spiking Neural Network (SNN) known as the third generation ANN is widely attracted more attention in the industry because of its advantages of behaving more biologically interpretable and more suitable for the implementation of ANN hardware, and it has been successfully applied to pattern recognition, medical imaging, intelligent control and other fields. Constrained by the fact that electronic chip manufacturing process is constantly approaching the limit in the " Post-Moore Era" and the performance bottleneck brought by the " separation of storage and computing" in the von Neumann system, photonic computing solutions with low latency, low energy consumption, high bandwidth, and high parallelism applicated to the hardware implementation of SNN has become a hot topic of multi-disciplinary integration in the field of information processing. This paper introduces the origin of the photonic SNN, the research process and various implementation schemes that use the characteristics of optical devices to realize the behavior of spiking neuron and synaptic connection strength thus realizing the SNN, and summarizes the current bottlenecks and challenges of the photonic SNN. And the future development trend of photonic SNN is also prospected..

In advanced high-speed fiber optic communication systems, due to the introduction of dense wavelength division multiplexing technology, the signal spectral interval is getting narrower and narrower, and the traditional out-of-band Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) monitoring technology is no longer accurate. TherefoIn advanced high-speed fiber optic communication systems, due to the introduction of dense wavelength division multiplexing technology, the signal spectral interval is getting narrower and narrower, and the traditional out-of-band Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) monitoring technology is no longer accurate. Therefore, further study is required in the low-cost in-band OSNR monitoring scheme. A Deep Neural Network (DNN) link OSNR monitoring scheme for Intensity-Modulation and Direct Detection (IMDD) system is proposed. We used a 5-layer DNN trained from 550 000 datasets to successfully estimate the OSNR of the 2 GBaud On-Off Key (OOK) signal in the range of 5 to 15 dB, and the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is less than 0.8 dB..

However, there are still some defects such as complex generation process and large volume. To solve these problems, this paper theoretically proposes a scheme for generating random numbers using mode hopping of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) with optical feedback. The VCSEL is perturbed by the optical feedback to generate the mode hopping. The square wave signal then modulates the injection current, periodically restarts the VCSEL to switch from the non-emitting state to the mode hopping state, and finally outputs a random pulse sequence to realize the random number generation. The results of this paper show that unbiased random numbers with verified randomness can be generated continuously at a rate of the order of Gbit/s. Our scheme eliminates the need for optoelectronic conversion and post-processing operations, simplifing the current random number generation structure, which has the potential to realize a low-cost photonic integrated random number generator..

Optical filters are widely used in many applications, including optical communication, spectroscopy, electronics and optical sensors. The Microwave Photonic Filter (MPF) based on Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) effect not only has the advantages of low threshold and high gain, but also has the characteristics of Optical filters are widely used in many applications, including optical communication, spectroscopy, electronics and optical sensors. The Microwave Photonic Filter (MPF) based on Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) effect not only has the advantages of low threshold and high gain, but also has the characteristics of reconfiguration and tunability. In this paper, we apply MPF to spectral analysis. Using the tunability of the filter, the spectrum of the whole signal can be measured. And the different frequency components of the signal can be extracted by time-sharing. By setting the center frequency of the swept laser in the pump branch of the filter, the output power of the filter is measured by the optical spectrum analyzer after SBS effect generating by the pump excitation, so as to analyze the spectrum of the signal light. The results show that with the increase of pump power, the filter gain and Out of Band Rejection Ratio (OOBR) first increase and then decrease. The inflection point is about 5 dBm and the dynamic range of the filter is from -35 to -20 dBm..

Quad Nowadays, it is in an important stage of the development and construction of the 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G) network, and the problems such as large bandwidth demand, high cost of optical modules and difficulty in laying in the construction of fronthaul networks need to be solved urgently. Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) packages are known to have four channels, while traditional QSFP28 50 Gbit/s optical module designs use only two of them. In this study, a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) package smaller than the QSFP package is used to make a 50 Gbit/s optical module, which reduced the bottom area by 40.5%, the volume by 52.2%, the power consumption by 42.1%, and the cost of transmitting the same distance optical module by 73.4%. 4 Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM4) technology enables 25 Gbit/s optical devices to transmit signals at 50 Gbit/s, doubling the single wavelength rate.

In order to solve the problem of all-optical communication network capacity and spectral efficiency, a two-cavity six-channel Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) based on the coupling characteristics of point-defect cavity and line-defect waveguide of Two-Dimensional (2-D) photonic crystal is proposed in this paper. In order to solve the problem of all-optical communication network capacity and spectral efficiency, a two-cavity six-channel Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) based on the coupling characteristics of point-defect cavity and line-defect waveguide of Two-Dimensional (2-D) photonic crystal is proposed in this paper. 2-D finite-difference time-domain method is used to analyze the performance parameters. Considering the influence of relative refractive index, the coupling mode of double resonators and single straight waveguide is selected to achieve the wavelength division multiplexing of 1 451, 1 487, 1 557, 1 658, 1 440 and 1 604 nm. The results show that the multiplexer has a spectral coverage of up to 218 nm, transmission efficiency of each channel higher than 91%, the insertion loss less than 0.43 dB, the cross-talk between channels less than -9.2 dB, and the size of only 13.56 μm×19.21 μm. It is very useful for coarse wavelength division multiplexing in optical communication systems, which also has reference significance for dense wavelength division multiplexing..
