Silicon opto-electro-mechanics for bridging the gap between photonics and microwaves
Conversion between electrical and optical signals enabled the use of near-infrared (near-IR) photons for high data rate transmission through optical fibre networks. Likewise, coherent conversion between microwave and optical photons stands as a promising solution to transfer quantum states between remote quantum processors, thus enabling the development of large-scale quantum networks. However, the vast frequency difference between microwave (GHz) and near-IR (200 THz) optical photons hampers direct coherent conversion. This limitation could be circumvented by phonon-mediated transduction, which is a coherent two-step process, comprising electromechanical and optomechanical conversions.…
