Photonics Society Interaction-free measurement (IFM) has been proposed as a means of high-resolution, low-damage imaging of radiation-sensitive samples, such as proteins and biomolecules. The basic setup for IFM is a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). Recent progress in nanofabricated electron diffraction gratings has made it possible to incorporate an MZI in a …

Photonics Society To support an energy-efficient optical interconnect technology enabled by silicon photonics, development of low-power-consumption active devices and associated integration technologies is needed. Quantum dot (QD) active layers grown on lattice-matched III-V substrates have demonstrated their benefits for lasers with low-thresholds and temperature-independent operation. In addition, the reduced sensitivity …
