Abstract:

Mobile internet, enterprise augmented reality, cloud services and IoT drive optical network adoption as the mega data centers are poised for significant growth to support the market. The relentless growth of data traffic raises the need for ultra-high-speed network transmission towards operations at 100 Gb/s transmission bit rate and beyond. A major effort is underway to build high-speed, compact, and energy efficient photonic devices and communication system by way of a chip-scale device integration technology. To this end, it is crucial to introduce and effectively combine advanced functional materials and innovative integrated photonic structures. The talk will present the recent efforts on the development of high-performance communication photonic devices integrating various optical materials, including ferroelectrics, germanium, low dimensional materials of graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide, organic polymer and III-V compound semiconductors, to realize high-speed electro-optic signal modulation, photodetection, and all-optical switching.
