集成光开关发展现状及关键技术(特邀)

随着网络传输数据流量的爆炸性增长,传统电交换由于其有限的带宽和高功耗将很难满足网络带宽发展需求。光交换能直接在光域上完成光信道间信息的交换,具有高速、宽带、透明、低功耗以及潜在的低成本等诸多优点,能满足下一代全光交换网络、数据中心和高性能计算机光互连网络建设的迫切需求。文章介绍了集成光开关的发展现状及核心技术,包括采用氧化硅、III-V族半导体材料和硅材料来制作光开关的进展以及各种技术的特点。其中硅基集成光开关具有结构紧凑、功耗小、成本低以及与互补型金属-氧化物-半导体（CMOS）工艺兼容的优势,适合大规模光开关制作和量产,具有潜在的巨大市场商用价值。文章重点介绍了实现硅基光开关的核心单元器件以及几种代表性光开关阵列,并对光开关状态监控和调节以及光电封装做了阐述

JUNO Sensitivity on Proton Decay p→νˉK+p\to \bar\nu K^+ Searches

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this paper, the potential on searching for proton decay in $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits to suppress the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ is 36.9% with a background level of 0.2 events after 10 years of data taking. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel

JUNO sensitivity on proton decay p → ν K + searches*

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this study, the potential of searching for proton decay in the $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated. The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits suppression of the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ is 36.9% ± 4.9% with a background level of $0.2\pm 0.05({\rm syst})\pm$$0.2({\rm stat})$ events after 10 years of data collection. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years of exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, which is competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel and complements the use of different detection technologies
