<div>We demonstrate a broadband and continuously tunable 1×4 optical beamforming network (OBFN), based on the hybrid integration of indium phosphide (InP) components in the silicon nitride (Si3N4) platform. The photonic integrated circuit (PIC) comprises a hybrid InP-Si3N4 external cavity laser, a pair of InP phase modulators, a Si3N4 optical single-sideband full carrier (SSBFC) filter followed by four tunable optical true time delay lines (OTTDLs), and four InP photodetectors. The performance of the OBFN-PIC is experimentally characterized by measuring the link gain, noise figure, and spurious free dynamic range of the microwave photonics links. Moreover, we assess its beamforming capabilities assuming that the OBFN-PIC is part of a wireless system operating in the downlink direction and feeds a multielement antenna array. Using microwave signals at 5 and 10 GHz with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) formats at 500 Mbaud, we evaluate the performance of the OBFN-PIC under various configurations. An error-free performance is achieved for all the experimental cases validating the potential of the proposed OBFN-PIC for high-quality beamforming performance. To our best of knowledge, this is the first thorough performance evaluation of a fully integrated OBFN-PIC.</div>

Photonic Integrated Circuit

A large number of discrete optical components could be replaced by a photonic integrated circuit in a multi-color laser engine for the visible spectral range. The photonic integrated circuit is based on silicon nitride waveguide technology. We report on the use of silicon nitride (SiN) photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in high-value instrumentation, namely multi-color laser engines (MLEs), a core element of cutting-edge biophotonic systems applied to confocal microscopy, fluorescent microscopy - including super-resolution stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy - flow cytometry, optogenetics, genetic analysis and DNA sequencing, to name just a few. These have in common the selective optical excitation of molecules - fluorophores, or, in the case of optogenetics, light-gated ion channels - with laser radiation falling within their absorption spectrum. Unambiguous identification of molecules or cellular subsets often requires jointly analyzing fluorescent signals from several fluorescent markers, so that MLEs are required to provide excitation wavelengths for several commercially available biocompatible fluorophores. A number of functionalities are required from MLEs in addition to sourcing the required wavelengths: Variable attenuation and/or digital intensity modulation in the Hz to kHz range are required for a number of applications such as optical trapping, lifetime imaging, or fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). Moreover, switching of the laser between two fiber outputs can be utilized for example to switch between scanning confocal microscopy and widefield illumination modes, for instance, for conventional fluorescence imaging.
