A method for the electrical parameters analysis and modelling of lossy-coupled multilayer on-chip interconnection lines at high bit rates is presented in detail. It can be used by the VLSI designer to analyze on-chip interconnections with linear, as well as nonlinear/time varying terminators and to simulate the pulse propagation characteristics in high-speed integrated circuits. First the capacitance, inductance, conductance and resistance matrices per unit length for the given multiconductor geometry is computed. A multiple coupled line model consisting of uncoupled lossy transmission lines and linear dependent current and voltage sources if finally calculated according to the capacitance, inductance, conductance and resistance matrix values computed.

The design and characterization of a broadband 20–480 GHz continuously tuneable on-chip spectrometer based on non-linear transmission lines in 65-nm CMOS technology is presented. The design procedure of the sampler that detects the ultra-broadband signal from the transmitter in time and frequency domain is described in detail. It consists of a non-linear transmission line, a passive pulse differentiator and a high-speed sample and hold-circuit. The relevance of the layout of the Schottky diodes in the sampler with a maximum RC-cutoff frequency of 430 GHz is described. Time domain and frequency domain measurements are presented to characterize the 480 GHz sampler bandwidth as well as the 3.1 ps sampler rise time. A signal to noise ratio of 90 dB at 100 GHz, 70 dB at 200 GHz and more than 30 dB at 480 GHz is reached. Two implementation of the spectrometer with antennas are presented, one with an on-chip antenna and one in a hybrid package. The antenna-less on-chip implementation of the transmitter and sampler requires no external lenses and is miniaturized to an area of 3 mm2. Future applications include analysis of fluids in microfluidic packages or droplet analysis in bio-medical or pharmaceutical applications.

AbstractUltracompact and low-power-consumption optical switches are desired for high-performance telecommunication networks and data centers. Here, we demonstrate an on-chip power-efficient 2 × 2 thermo-optic switch unit by using a suspended photonic crystal nanobeam structure. A submilliwatt switching power of 0.15 mW is obtained with a tuning efficiency of 7.71 nm/mW in a compact footprint of 60 μm × 16 μm. The bandwidth of the switch is properly designed for a four-level pulse amplitude modulation signal with a 124 Gb/s raw data rate. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed switch is the most power-efficient resonator-based thermo-optic switch unit with the highest tuning efficiency and data ever reported.

AbstractPlasmons, as emerging optical diffraction-unlimited information carriers, promise the high-capacity, high-speed, and integrated photonic chips. The on-chip precise manipulations of plasmon in an arbitrary platform, whether two-dimensional (2D) or one-dimensional (1D), appears demanding but non-trivial. Here, we proposed a meta-wall, consisting of specifically designed meta-atoms, that allows the high-efficiency transformation of propagating plasmon polaritons from 2D platforms to 1D plasmonic waveguides, forming the trans-dimensional plasmonic routers. The mechanism to compensate the momentum transformation in the router can be traced via a local dynamic phase gradient of the meta-atom and reciprocal lattice vector. To demonstrate such a scheme, a directional router based on phase-gradient meta-wall is designed to couple 2D SPP to a 1D plasmonic waveguide, while a unidirectional router based on grating metawall is designed to route 2D SPP to the arbitrarily desired direction along the 1D plasmonic waveguide by changing the incident angle of 2D SPP. The on-chip routers of trans-dimensional SPP demonstrated here provide a flexible tool to manipulate propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and may pave the way for designing integrated plasmonic network and devices.
