A Unified and Economical Approach to Teaching Higher Secondary Electricity Experiments

In both rural and urban educational settings, science education is often hindered by limited access to lab resources and intimidating, complex instruments. This paper introduces a low-cost, homemade experimental apparatus built using a mobile charger, nichrome wire, galvanometer, and digital multimeter that enables educators to perform key higher secondary electricity experiments. The Indigenous Metre Bridge (IMB) has proven to be an intuitive, user-friendly tool that not only bridges theoretical and practical learning but also reduces student apprehension toward lab work. Its simplicity and accessibility exemplify how frugal innovation can transform physics education.

3D Electronic-Photonic Heterogenous Interconnect Platforms Enabling Energy-Efficient Scalable Architectures For Future HPC Systems

3D interconnects have emerged as a solution to address the scaling issues of interconnect bandwidth and the memory wall problem in high-performance computing (HPC), such as High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM). However, the copper-based electrical interconnect retains fundamental limitations. Dense I/O for high-speed signals lead to degraded signal quality for end-to-end links, necessitating additional circuits to mitigate signal impairments and resulting in poor energy efficiency. We propose a 3D chiplet stacking electronic-photonic interconnect (EPIC) platform, which offers a solution by moving the high-speed data communication interface to the optical domain across the 3D stack by using Through Silicon Optical Vias (TSOV), while retaining the functionality of electrical TSVs and 2.5D interconnects for power delivery and short-reach low-latency communications. We then benchmark the proposed model against state-of-the-art 3D electrical interconnects to demonstrate our 3D EPIC platform beating the 3D electrical interconnects to $>$10 TB/s/$mm^2$ bandwidth density. We present a pathway to extend our demonstrated, industry-ready design to achieving $\leq$100 fJ/bit high-speed communication.

Review Of Integrated Photonic Elastic WDM Switches For Data Centers

In this review paper, we present an elaborate discussion on wavelength selective switches and their demonstrations. We also review packaging and electronic photonic integration of switches; a topic neglected in other review papers. We also cover wavelength locking which is paramount in switching networks with many tunable filters.
