Silicon lasers have long been a goal for semiconductor scientists, and a number of important
breakthroughs in the past decade have focused attention on silicon as a photonic platform. …

In this paper III‐V on silicon‐on‐insulator (SOI) heterogeneous integration is reviewed for the
realization of near infrared light sources on a silicon waveguide platform, suitable for inter‐…

A review of recent progress in hybrid integrated platforms for silicon photonics is presented.
Integration of III-V semiconductors onto silicon-on-insulator substrates based on two different …

We carried out metagenomic shotgun sequencing and a metagenome-wide association
study (MGWAS) of fecal, dental and salivary samples from a cohort of individuals with …

An ultra-short (∼10 μm long) polarization beam splitter (PBS) based on an asymmetrical
bent directional coupler (DC) is demonstrated experimentally by using silicon-on-insulator …

Biomphalaria snails are instrumental in transmission of the human blood fluke Schistosoma
mansoni. With the World Health Organization's goal to eliminate schistosomiasis as a global …

We report an electrically pumped distributed feedback silicon evanescent laser. The laser
operates continuous wave with a single mode output at 1600 nm. The laser threshold is 25 mA …

In this paper, we review the hybrid silicon photonic integration platform and its use for optical
links. In this platform, a III/V layer is bonded to a fully processed silicon-on-insulator wafer. …

We demonstrate an electrically-pumped hybrid silicon microring laser fabricated by a self-aligned
process. The compact structure (D = 50 μm) and small electrical and optical losses …

Objectives To compare the efficacy and safety of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TwHF) with
methotrexate (MTX) in the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Design: a …
