    Penalties From 2D Grating Coupler Induced Polarization Crosstalk in Silicon Photonic Coherent Transceivers
    (New York, NY : IEEE, 2022) Georgieva, Galina; Sena, Matheus; Seiler, Pascal M.; Petermann, Klaus; Fischer, Johannes; Zimmermann, Lars
    Silicon photonic two-dimensional grating couplers for C- and O-band dual-polarization coherent transceivers are analyzed with respect to their polarization splitting/combining performance. Due to scattered light in the grating's plane, a linear cross-polarization results. The latter is responsible for a limited polarization split ratio and a polarizations' non-orthogonality. The impact of these two quantities is evaluated by system-level simulations with regard to OSNR penalties in coherent systems. For both C- and O-band, a design modification for reduced penalties is proposed.

    Orthogonality of fluxes in general nonlinear reaction networks
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Renger, D.R.Michiel; Zimmer, Johannes
    We consider the chemical reaction networks and study currents in these systems. Reviewing recent decomposition of rate functionals from large deviation theory for Markov processes, we adapt these results for reaction networks. In particular, we state a suitable generalisation of orthogonality of forces in these systems, and derive an inequality that bounds the free energy loss and Fisher information by the rate functional.
