Over the past decades Silicon on Insulator (SoI) technology has tantalized the interest of researchers in the design of numerous nonlinear Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC's) to provide a variety of devices. In this manuscript, four different types of optical add/drop resonators are proposed and compared using their simulated microcomb notch filter performance. The four types of resonators are (i) rectangular waveguide based conventional ring resonator, (ii) slot waveguide based ring resonator, (iii) rectangular waveguide based racetrack resonator, and (iv) slot waveguide based racetrack resonator, for variety of active/passive applications. The resonator parameters: Free Spectral Range (FSR), Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM), Finesse (F) and Quality factor (Q-factor) are evaluated and compared for four resonators. The resonators are optimized for different parameters, such as ring radius (R), gap (g) between the waveguides and coupling length (L-c). The optimized R of similar to 30 mu m with the power coupled 'g' of 55 nm is found after performing rigorous simulations for the entire optical conventional band (C-band) i.e., in 1530 nm - 1565 nm using Finite Element Method (FEM). The manuscript provides valuable insights into the design considerations and performance trade-offs of different optical resonators in PICs showing symmetricity along x-axis and y-axis. These findings can guide the development of efficient and high-performance integrated photonic devices for various applications, including communication and computing systems.

Model-Based systemsengineering (MBSE) methodologies for system design are widely discussed in the literature and commonly adopted in industrial contexts. However, there is a lack of methods to support the construction of a consistent set of models representative of the System of Interest (SoI). The establishment of dependencies among model elements (i) within each model, (ii) at each level of system decomposition, and (iii) through different levels of system decomposition is a critical enabling activity. The present paper proposes the DREME (Definition of RElationships among Model Elements) framework to define relationships among model elements within a MBSE methodology. The DREME framework has been defined by using the knowledge-based approach (KBA). Finally an example of its application is demonstrated with the Requirement-Functional-Logical-Physical method for mechatronic system design.

The fabrication of curved compound eye camera systems is usually complex since it can involve multiple nonstandard components to achieve the desired effect. In this paper we aim to provide a close alternative to these custom optical elements using off the shelf components or to provide a framework to design these systems using standard fabrication techniques. We will first demonstrate how lens distortion can be leveraged to optically bend a standard planar microlens array, and how this bending correlates to a curved microlens array. We will then show lab results of curved compound eye camera made using an off-the-shelf fisheye lens and a standard microlens array and how the equivalent curved microlens array system reproduces image in the real world and provide a comparison using image simulation from an opticaldesign software and a scene recorded using a neural radiance field.

In recent years, more-electric technology has been gradually introduced into the aviation field, which shows higher maintainability than the traditional hydraulic system. In this paper, a load matching method is proposed for the preliminary design of helicopter EHA. Firstly, reasonably match the power curve and the load curve to ensure the output capacity is sufficient;secondly, determine the optimization design process by establishing the reasonable estimation models;and finally calculate all the parameters based on the optimal solution combination, which is generated by the multi-objective optimization algorithm.

Bessel beams, known for maintaining focus over long distances, find many applications in imaging, nonlinear optics and laser material processing. For these applications, generating sub-micrometer Bessel beams is essential, but requires complex opticalsystems. Traditional optical software, designed for ray tracing, are challenged for this task. Here we show how we can use optical software to create and optimize opticaldesign to generate these unconventional beams. The research involves high numerical aperture systems, investigates the influence of polarization, and the use of diffractive optical elements. Numerical findings are compared to experimental results, highlighting the potential of software-assisted beam design for various applications.

Electro-optic modulators play a substantial role in modulating high-speed optical signals in photonic integrated systems. Graphene is a very promising material for various optoelectronic applications, allowing the realization of active optical devices. Plasmonic waveguides are the most promising candidates for subwavelength optical confinement. We propose a graphene-based electro-absorption modulator integrated with hybrid plasmonic waveguides. The proposed configuration integrates the benefits of both graphene and plasmonic waveguides. The results demonstrate that the modulation depth of the proposed modulator can reach 1.0917 dB/mu m at low gating voltages with a wavelength of 1.55 mu m. When compared with previous papers, our proposed modulator shows superior performance.

Stray light analysis is essential for the design of high-quality opticalsystems, to ensure that unwanted light reaching the sensor is minimized, and artifacts that degrade optical performance - such as lens flare - are mitigated. This article introduces a system-level approach for stray light analysis using Ansys Optics simulation tools, considering stray light from both optical and non-optical components. The article illustrates how these tools can be integrated with Ansys optiSLang for automated exploration and design optimization. The practical camera use-case highlights a seamless data exchange between Ansys Optics simulation tools. It employs a range of intuitive features, from Ansys Zemax OpticStudio's sequential ray tracing, extending to Ansys Speos ray path analysis, while leveraging HPC and Cloud Computing. The combined capabilities offer an efficient solution, streamlining collaboration and enabling optimized optical system designs.

We have designed an Integral Field Unit for the ORCAS1 Keck Instrument Development ii (ORKID ii) Instrument. Building on the success of the ORKID camera which achieved 15.2 masec PSF FWHM visible light imaging, ORKID ii will add Integral Field Spectroscopy to analyze Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), supernovae redshift and brightness, and other observations. Several design options have been explored based on image slicers manufactured by the Canon Corporation's machining process. Field layouts can include up to three disparate spatial sampling, with a lower limit of 6.7 masec. Spectral resolutions are considered from R 100 to R 10,000.

This paper provides an accurate and simple simulation workflow for Structural, Thermal and optical Performance (STOP) analysis on complex opticalsystems. Applying this workflow to a high-power laser system, we use Ansys Zemax OpticStudio for both opticaldesign and wavefront analysis. Then Ansys Speos is used for optical heat load calculation on each component of the system. Finally, Ansys Mechanical is used to perform thermal and structural analysis, providing this information back to OpticStudio for wavefront error analysis and optical tolerancing. The workflow is fully automated thanks to Ansys System Coupling interface. Besides the ease of use, this workflow captures the impact of structural deformations and refractive index changes on the key performances of any optical system, accounting for opto-mechanical component contributions. The approach can be steady-state or transient.
