ThB5 9:30 AM - 9:45 AM<br />
Ultra-Compact Integrated Hybrid<br />
Plasmonic Mode Evolution Polarization<br />
Rotator, J. Caspers, M. Alam and M. Mojahedi,<br />
University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada<br />
We propose a novel ultra-compact (4.7 µm)<br />
hybrid-plasmonic polarization rotator at telecommunication<br />
wavelength for integrated Si photonic<br />
circuits. The device shows an extinction ratio of<br />
>17 dB, and low insertion losses of 1.6 dB.<br />
ThC4 9:30 AM - 9:45 AM<br />
On the Electrical Power Distribution for<br />
Coexisting OFDM-based Signals in<br />
Converged Long-Reach Passive Optical<br />
Networks, F. W. Carvalho, Instituto de<br />
Telecomunicações, Lisboa, Portugal<br />
Three electrical power distributions (EPD) for a<br />
mix of five coexisting OFDM-based signals in<br />
converged long-reach passive optical networks<br />
are compared. Using the optimum EPD, a<br />
network reach of 105~km is shown.<br />
ThD4 9:30 AM - 9:45 AM<br />
Si Photonic Device Uniformity<br />
Improvement Using Wafer-Scale<br />
Location Specific Processing,<br />
S. K. Selvaraja, Ghent University, Gent, Belgium<br />
We report two-fold improvement in Si photonic<br />
device uniformity over a 200mm SOI wafer<br />
through location specific processing. A within<br />
wafer thickness non-uniformity of 0.8nm yielding<br />
a grating fiber-coupler peak-wavelength nonuniformity<br />
of 1.8nm is achieved.<br />

OSNR Measurements Using Silicon<br />
Grating Coupler and Integrated<br />
Photodiode, K. Xu, Y. M. Chen, Z. Cheng,<br />
X. Chen and H. K. Tsang, Chinese University of<br />
Hong Kong, Hong Kong<br />
We demonstrate a simple technique for OSNR<br />
monitoring using integrated grating coupler and<br />
PN diode. Measurement of OSNR between 10 dB<br />
and 25 dB was achieved via the polarization<br />
dependence of the grating coupler.<br />

Demonstration of High-Q Microspheres<br />
in Indium Fluoride, a New Mid-IR Glass<br />
Host, R. K. Jain, B. Way, M. Klopfer, I. Small,<br />
University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM,<br />
USA, M. Saad, IRphotonics, Saint-Laurent, QC,<br />
Canada and M. Hossein-Zadeh, University of<br />
New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, USA<br />
We have demonstrated fabrication of high-Q<br />
WGM (Whispering Gallery Mode) optical microcavities<br />
for the first time in a relatively new<br />
mid-IR glass, namely Indium Fluoride. Intrinsic<br />
quality factors of 3×10 6 have already been<br />
demonstrated.<br />

Ultrafast Nanoplasmonic Circuits and<br />
Devices, A. Y. Elezzabi and S. Sederberg,<br />
University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada<br />
We present various classes of monolithicallyintegrated<br />
nanoplasmonic devices and circuits<br />
on a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor<br />
(CMOS) platform for electronic-plasmonic<br />
hybrid integration. Through this investigation, we<br />
demonstrate ultrafast switching, modulation and<br />
routing of such devices.<br />
ThJ1 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM (Invited)<br />
Photonic Crystal Lasers on Silicon,<br />
A. Bazin, Y. Halioua, T. J. Karle, P. Monnier,<br />
I. Sagnes, R. Raj and F. Raineri, Laboratoire de<br />
Photonique et de Nanostructures, Marcoussis,<br />
France<br />
III-V semiconductor photonic crystal nanolasers<br />
are heterogeneously integrated on a SOI waveguides<br />
circuitry. We demonstrate this approach<br />
constitutes an efficient way to interface these<br />
ultimate lasers. Coupling efficiency and optical<br />
bistability will be discussed.<br />

SDN Based Unified Control Architecture,<br />
S. Das, G. Parulkar and N. W. McKeown,<br />
Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA<br />
We discuss the motivations and progress made<br />
towards the development of a unified control<br />
architecture based on Software Defined<br />
Networking (SDN) for packet and circuit switched<br />
networks.<br />
ThL1 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM (Invited)<br />
Direct Observation of Optical Magnetism<br />
from a Dielectric Resonator<br />
Metamaterial Using Time-Domain<br />
Spectroscopy in the Mid-Infrared, S. Liu,<br />
I. Brener, T. Mahony, J. Ginn, D. A. Bender,<br />
J. Wright, J. R. Wendt, J. F. Ihlefeld, P. G. Clem<br />
and M. B. Sinclair, Sandia National Laboratories,<br />
Albuquerque, NM, USA<br />
We use phase-locked time-domain spectroscopy<br />
in the mid-infrared to directly demonstrate the<br />
“infrared magnetic mirror” behavior of an alldielectric<br />
metamaterial. This metamaterial surface<br />
consists of micron-sized cubes of tellurium<br />
fabricated on a dielectric substrate.<br />
