On-chip pulse shaping of entangled photons by Kaiyi Wu, Lucas M. Cohen, Karthik V. Myilswamy, Navin B. Lingaraju, Hsuan-Hao Lu, Joseph M. Lukens, Andrew M. Weiner

“…In this work, we demonstrate on-chip spectral shaping of entangled photons using a multichannel microring-resonator-based silicon photonic pulse shaper. Achieving line-by-line phase control on a 3 GHz grid for two frequency-bin-entangled qudits, the pulse shaper's fine spectral resolution enables control of nanosecond-scale temporal features, which are observed by direct coincidence detection of biphoton correlation functions that show excellent agreement with theory. …”

Numerical Assessment of Automotive Mufflers Using FEM, Neural Networks, and a Genetic Algorithm by Ying-Chun CHANG, Min-Chie CHIU, Meng-Ru WU

“…In addition, to prevent noise transmission from the muffler’s casing, the muffler’s shell is also lined with sound absorbing material. Because the geometry of an automotive muffler is complicated, using an analytic method to predict a muffler’s acoustical performance is difficult; therefore, COMSOL, a finite element analysis software, is adopted to estimate the automotive muffler’s sound transmission loss. …”
