The integrated optical gyroscope is a highly possible way to achieve chip-level gyroscopes. We proposed and simulated a three-dimensional Si3N4 optical interconnect platform. It transforms the waveguide coil from a single-layer structure to a multi-layer structure, which can increase the sensing area of the coil under the same footprint. The proposed platform with low interlayer transition loss and crossing loss can reduce the overall loss in the coil and improve the theoretical angular random walk (ARW). A quadruple-layer sensing coil with a maximum radius of 30 mm and a total length of 2.08 m is derived, which can attain an ARW of 0.15 deg/√h and an insertion loss of 3.15 dB in theory.
Amid the rising demand for high-performance computing, photonic integrated circuits are increasingly overcoming the conventional two-dimensional barriers, transitioning toward more flexible multilayer structures. To fulfill this aim, we have engineered a wide-bandwidth, multilayer tunable power splitter that enables the transmission of information along the vertical direction while allowing for flexible allocation of optical power. The power splitter is constructed with an asymmetric coupler, complemented by a grating structure. The design of the coupler has been refined through optimization employing the particle swarm algorithm, while the grating structure has undergone optimization via the direct binary search algorithm. The simulation results indicate that the power divider can achieve proportional regulation from 0.285 to 3.5 across the 1400 to 1700 nm wavelength spectrum, with insertion losses (ILs) consistently below 0.34 dB. Significantly, the IL is <0.21 dB at a 1:1 power ratio. This compact, low-loss, high-bandwidth tunable power splitter was designed to offer a new idea for the multilayer integration of microchips.
With the development of infrared detection, infrared stealth technology is receiving increasing attention. This will require the implementation of multispectral infrared stealth, including infrared laser stealth and thermal stealth. However, the infrared laser stealth with high absorption faces challenges of laser damage. It is still difficult to balance between laser stealth and laser protection. Here, we propose a smart infrared stealth scheme that realizes laser stealth at low energy thresholds and laser protection at high energy thresholds. The conversion ratio between stealth and protection are 0.4 and 0.78, respectively. The proposed smart infrared stealth demonstrates the high performance of infrared stealth (R1.06μm=0.13, R10.6μm=0.03), thermal stealth (ε3-5μm=0.3, ε8-14μm=0.5) and thermal management (ε5-8μm=0.7, ε14-17μm=0.9).
