Title
On-chip Nanophotonics – The Optical Spice Rack
Abstract
The tool box of integrated nanophotonics today is rich: from the ability to guide and amplify multiple wavelength sources at GHz bandwidths, to optomechanical MEMS and nonlinear devices. Using highly confined photonic structures, much smaller than the wavelength of light, we have demonstrated ultra-compact passive and active silicon photonic components that enhance the electro-optical, mechanical and non-linear properties of the material. I will provide an overview of recent advances and challenges in the field.
