The realization of a silicon optical phase shifter marked a cornerstone for the development of silicon photonics, and it is expected that optical interconnects based on the technology relax the explosive datacom growth in data centers. High-performance silicon optical modulators and switches, integrated into a chip, play a very important role in optical transceivers, encoding electrical signals onto the light at high speed and routing the optical signals, respectively. The development of the devices is continuously required to meet the ever-increasing data traffic at higher performance and lower cost. Therefore, heterogeneous integration is one of the highly promising approaches, expected to enable high modulation efficiency, low loss, low power consumption, small device footprint, etc. Therefore, we review heterogeneously integrated optical modulators and switches for the next-generation silicon photonic platform.

The scalp-recorded amplitude-modulation following response (AMFR)” is gaining recognition as an objective audiometric tool, but little is known about the neural sources that underlie this potential. We hypothesized, based on our human studies and single-unit recordings in animals, that the scalp-recorded AMFR reflects the interaction of multiple sources. We tested this hypothesis using an animal model, the unanesthetized rabbit. We compared AMFRs recorded from the surface of the brain at different locations and before and after the administration of agents likely to enhance or suppress neural generators. We also recorded AMFRs locally at several stations along the auditory neuraxis. We conclude that the surface-recorded AMFR is indeed a composite response from multiple brain generators. Although the response at any modulation frequency can reflect the activity of more than one generator, the AMFRs to low and high modulation frequencies appear to reflect a strong contribution from cortical and subcortical sources, respectively.

The beam formation can be treated as the diffraction pattern. A 1-D light detection and ranging beam steering could be derived through a phase shifter array using Rayleigh–Sommerfeld Diffraction, which is then utilized to demonstrate grating lobe-free beam steering from the optical phase array emitter with half-wavelength pitches. The half-wavelength pitch cannot demonstrate beam formation without any evanescent coupling blocking between emitters. Here, two index-mismatched silicon wires in the emitter array are proposed by the optical phase compensation through waveguide width adjustment, to avoid the complex and addressable thermal control on the phase shifters. Moreover, the same output optical waveguide mode needs to be further considered to demonstrate the grating lobe-free beam steering. In order to get the adiabatic connection between two different pitches between the phase shifter and emitter, an optical path equalization will also be applied.
