Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- With the maturing and the increasing complexity of Silicon Photonics technology, novel avenues are pursued to reduce power consumption and to provide enhanced functionality: exploiting mechanical movement in advanced Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits provides a promising path to access a strong modulation of the effective index and to low power consumption by employing mechanically stable and thus non-volatile states. In this paper, we will discuss recent achievements in the development of MEMS enabled systems in Silicon Photonics and outline the roadmap towards reconfigurable general Photonic Integrated Circuits.

Ingår i: 2021 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics, CLEO 2021 - Proceedings. - : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc..

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Photonic integrated circuits are becoming increasingly more complex, especially with the emergence of programmable photonic circuits. These require many tunable photonic elements, such as electro-optic phase shifters and tunable couplers. We will discuss our progress in compact, low-power silicon photonics actuators based on heaters, liquid crystal and MEMS that can be scaled up to large circuits.

- The thioredoxin (TRX) system, composed of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced form), TRX, and TRX reductase (TRXR), has multiple biologic functions via thiol-mediated redox control. In this study, we investigated the relationship between intracellular TRXR levels and cellular sensitivity to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP). HeLa, a human cervical carcinoma cell line, cultured with CDDP showed a time- and dose-dependent reduction of intracellular TRXR activity, which was well correlated with the decrease in cell viability after exposure to CDDP. In a cell-free system, CDDP was found to directly inactivate the reduced form of purified human TRXR. The CDDP-resistant variants of HeLa cells, established by continuous exposure to CDDP, exhibited an increased expression and activity of TRXR as well as TRX compared with the parental cells. In addition, sodium selenate, an inhibitor of TRXR, was found to increase the susceptibility to CDDP in the CDDP-resistant cells. Moreover, the HeLa cells transfected with an antisense TRXR RNA expression vector to reduce the intracellular enzyme activity displayed an enhanced sensitivity to CDDP. Taken together with previous reports on TRX, these results indicate the possible involvement of TRXR as well as TRX in the cellular sensitivity and resistance to CDDP.

- MEMS enable low power tuners in silicon photonics, but existing phase shifters lack in range, speed, and loss. We implement a 2π phase shifter with a 1.54 µs time constant and 0.5 dB insertion loss in IMEC's iSiPP50G platform.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is reviewed. This field leverages mechanics at the nanometer to micrometer scale to improve existing components and introduce novel functionalities in PICs. This review covers the MEMS actuation principles and the mechanical tuning mechanisms for integrated photonics. The state of the art of MEMS tunable components in PICs is quantitatively reviewed and critically assessed with respect to suitability for large-scale integration in existing PIC technology platforms. MEMS provide a powerful approach to overcome current limitations in PIC technologies and to enable a new design dimension with a wide range of applications.
