with distributed all-optical contention resolution
based on saturation effect in R-SOAs. Significant
reduction in latency compared to FBF architecture
is observed.

Heterogeneous Photonic Integrated
Circuits, A. W. Fang, G. A. Fish and E. M. Hall,
Aurrion, Goleta, CA, USA
In the last decade, we’ve witnessed the
complexity of InP based PICs with high active
device content scale to device counts in the 100’s
in a singular chip. Meanwhile silicon photonic
platforms have advanced with demonstrations of
advanced passive circuits, silicon design &
manufacturing environments applied to
photonics, and intimate electronic co-design
(SiP and SoC). In this talk we discuss the advantages
of the convergence of InP and Silicon
technologies through heterogeneous integration.

Optical Control with Specially-
Engineered Photonic Lattices and
Intelligently-Designed Optical Beams,
Z. Chen, San Francisco State University, San
Francisco, CA, USA
We will provide a brief overview of our work on
optical control of light beams in photonic lattices
and of particles with nonconventional optical
beams, including trapping and manipulation with
propelling beams, bottle beams, and self-accelerating
Airy beams.

Photonic Applications in Analog RF Links
and Real Time Arbitrary Waveform
Generation, P. J. Delfyett, S. Bhooplapur,
N. Hoghooghi and E. Sarailou, University of
Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA
Injection locked vertical cavity semiconductor
lasers are used as true linear intensity modulators
and narrowband optical filters that can be
exploited for applications in RF analog links,
optical sampling and real time arbitrary waveform
generation.

Reflectivity, B. H. Baratali and J. Atai,
University of Sydney, Darlington, Australia
Interactions of in-phase quiescent gap solitons in

with dispersive reflectivity are investigated. It is
found that the interactions may lead to merger,
destruction, or separation of solitons.
