报告摘要： Future computer chips will be optically connected or even be built with high speed optical interconnects within the chips. With optical interconnects at the chip level, high speed data rates will be available from the core chips of computers all the way through the optical fibers connecting the continents. The lack of a practical on-chip, high performance lasers, due to the incompatibility between laser materials and computer chip materials, is the major roadblock that prevents from achieving such an ambitious goal, and thus the creation of silicon based light sources has been a major research and development effort world-wide for many years.
In this talk, I will review some of the research accomplishments we made over the last few years on this emerging and exciting field, with focuses on stamp-assisted transfer-printed photonic crystal nanomembrane lasers on Si (Nature Photonics, Sept. 2012) for Si photonics, Fano resonance photonic crystal membrane reflectors and filters, and high speed flexible RF electronics (Nature Scientific Reports, Feb. 2013), etc. The convergence of semiconductor nanomembranes and Fano resonance photonic crystals and metamaterials will also be discussed, with potential applications in the areas of 3D Si CMOS photonics, flexible, bio-inspired/integrated photonic/electronic systems, and multi-spectral multi-color infrared imaging and smart sensing systems, etc.
报告人简介 Dr. Weidong Zhou obtained his BS and ME degrees from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. He obtained his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, majoring in optoelectronics and solid state electronics. Before joining University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), he worked as a lead engineer at CIENA Corporation for three years, working on active photonic devices for WDM optical communication systems. He is currently a Professor of Electrical Engineering at UTA. Dr. Zhou has authored and co-authored over 200 journal publications and conference presentations, including over 70 journal publications, and over 30 invited conference talks. Dr. Zhou is a senior member of IEEE, a member of APS, OSA and SPIE. He also serves and chairs in various conference committees and editorial boards. He received early promotion to tenured Associate Professor in 2009 and full Professor in 2012 due to his outstanding performances in research, teaching, and service. Recently, he received College of Engineering Excellence in Research Award, the highest award in recognition of sustained, quality research accomplishments at UT Arlington.
