1x4 Vertical Power Splitter/Combiner: A Basic Building Block for Complex 3D Waveguide Routing Networks

Madeleine Weigel, Norbert Keil, Martin Schell, Moritz Kleinert, Crispin Zawadzki, D. De Felipe, Martin Kresse, Tianwen Qian, Jakob Reck, Klara Mihov, Jan H. Bach, Philipp Winklhofer

A novel polymer-based 1x4 vertical multimode interference (MMI) coupler for 3D photonics is presented. It connects four vertically stacked waveguide layers with a spacing of 21.6 µm. The functionality is demonstrated on a fabricated device.

Optimization and Performance Evaluation of Single-mode SOI Waveguides for Ultra-broadband C-to-S Wavelength Conversion

Gregor Ronniger, Colja Schubert, Carsten Schmidt-Langhorst, Ronald Freund, Robert Elschner, Tomoyuki Kato, Isaac Sackey, Takeshi Hoshida, Hidenobu Muranaka, Shun Okada, Yu Tanaka, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, Md Mahasin Khan

We implemented an all-optical C-to-S band wavelength converter based on low-complexity SOI strip waveguides. Its bandwidth was optimized and crosstalk issues were modeled numerically. These devices were experimentally evaluated to have a...

FedAUXfdp: Differentially Private One-Shot Federated Distillation

Haley Hoech, Karsten Müller, Wojciech Samek, Roman Rischke

Federated learning suffers in the case of non-iid local datasets, i.e., when the distributions of the clients’ data are heterogeneous. One promising approach to this challenge is the recently proposed method FedAUX. This work presents a fully...

Coherent LiDAR with 2D quasi-static MEMS mirror scanning

Sarah Cwalina, Volker Jungnickel, Ronald Freund, Christoph Kottke, Norman Laske

Coherent LiDAR concepts for automotive applications are of increasing interest due to their superior performance, especially at longer range. Here, MEMS mirrors can be used as a compact scanning device. We demonstrate the operation of such a...
