Understanding Disorder in Rectangular Dielectric Microcavity CROWs (Project Report 0642603-Y2)

This NSF-funded project [0642603] is a five-year (60 months) CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development Program) unified research and education development program, which focused on the physics and applications of optical waveguiding in the CROW (Coupled Resonator Optical Waveguide) structure. The CROW structure is suitable as the foundation of this project because it offers a very high four-wave mixing (FWM) nonlinearity based on the slow-light effects on each of the pump, signal and idler modes. The triple resonance effects can result in a large improvement of the nonlinear coefficient even with a modest improvement of the slowing factor. However, understanding the effects of disorder in CROWs is important, since it can limit the amount of slowing that can be achieved, and hence, the enhancement of slow-light enhanced nonlinearity.

Four-wave Mixing Using Silicon Microring CROWs (Project Report 0642603-Y4)

This NSF-funded project [0642603] is a five-year (60 months) CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development Program) unified research and education development program. The project’s focus is the science, engineering and applications of low-power (milliwatt class) nonlinear optics using a novel type of waveguide, the Coupled Resonator Optical Waveguide (CROW). Examples of applications of the nonlinear effects that were studied in this project are wavelength conversion of high speed modulated signals and correlated photon-pair generation.

Accomplishments in Integrated Nonlinear Optics using Silicon Microring CROWs (Project Report 0642603-Y5)

This NSF-funded project is a five-year (60 months) CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development Program) unified research and education development program. The project’s focus is the science, engineering and applications of low-power (milliwatt class) nonlinear optics using CROWs. Coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) are linear sequences of micro-resonators fabricated on a chip that guide light from one end of the chain to the other by nearest-neighbor coupling.

Design and Fabrication of Long Silicon Microring CROWs (Project Report 0642603-Y3)

This NSF-funded project [0642603] is a five-year (60 months) CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development Program) unified research and education development program, with a focus on the physics and applications of optical waveguiding in the CROW (Coupled Resonator Optical Waveguide) device structure. The CROW structure is suitable as the foundation of this project because it offers a very high four-wave mixing nonlinearity based on the slow-light effects on each of the pump, signal and idler modes. Since the output depends quadratically on the propagation length (in the low power regime), it is important to realize long CROWs.

Integrated Nonlinear Photonics Using CROWs (Project Report 0642603-Y1)

This NSF-funded project [0642603] is a five-year (60 months) CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development Program) unified research and education development program. The full title of this project is “CAREER: Chip-scale low-power nonlinear optics using coupled resonators and CROWs”. The focus of this project is a study of the waveguiding principles and applications of a novel type of integrated photonics waveguide, the Coupled Resonator Optical Waveguide (CROW), in nonlinear optics at the milliwatt-scale power level, which is relevant for optical communications and signal processing.

Implementation of Teacher Career Development in Madrasah Aliyah Negeri

This study describes how to implement teacher career development at MAN Batu Bara. The objectives of this study are: (1) To determine the Career Development Planning of teachers at MAN Batu Bara, (2) To determine the implementation of the Teacher Career Development Program at MAN Batu Bara, (3) To determine the Evaluation of Teacher Career Development at MAN Batu Bara. The approach in this study was carried out with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was obtained by means of observation, interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis in this study used data reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions/verification. Checking or checking the validity of the data used the techniques of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The findings of this study revealed three findings, namely: (1) Planning for teacher career development at MAN Batu Bara carried out by madrasas, namely by planning for proposing the names of teachers who will be promoted to rank or class. Meanwhile, what is done by teachers is by preparing certain conditions for promotion to the rank of class, (2) The implementation of career development at MAN Batu Bara is by compiling a proposal file for promotion compiled by the teacher and recommended by the head of the Madrasa, as well as through examination of files by the head of the Madrasah. supervisor of physical documents and components of credit score assessment for teachers, (3) Evaluation of teacher career development at MAN Batu Bara conducts a self-evaluation by looking at the success of students in subjects and is also carried out by the head of the madrasa every year which is called the employee work target (SKP).
