The search for novel materials in electro-optic modulation to engineer unprecedented performance metrics is an active research field in recent years. Numerous material classes have been sought to enhance optical modulator performance. A key challenge encountered in heterogeneously integrating...
This thesis explores fundamentals of optical computing by means of fast Fourier transform Integration on Silicon On Insulator chip technology toward its implementation in analog and temporal domain. This is done by cascading (N-2) stages of delayed interferometers (couplers and phase shifters)...
