Silicon Photonic Integrated Systems and Future Software Defined Cyberinfrastructure
Prof. S. J. Ben Yoo
University of California, Davis
This talk will cover software defined networking and future exascale computing systems enabled by reconfigurable silicon photonic electronic integrated circuits. Convergence of nanoscale photonic and electronic integration brings new capabilities through combining the parallelism of photonics and the intelligence of electronics in a large-scale integrated platform. We will discuss electronic-photonic integrated circuits (EPICs) including 3D integrated compute nodes, THz communication systems, and RF-photonic signal processors, which will in turn become building blocks for optical networking and exascale computing systems. Such EPICs facilitate virtualization and programmability that support software-defined cyberinfrasctructure. We will provide UC Davis campus testbed examples consisting of elastic optical networking and optically-integrated data centers together with silicon photonic interconnects, optical arbitrary waveform generation/detection, silicon photonic lattice filters, and 3D integrated orbital-angular-momentum mux/demuxes. New networking and computing architectures enabled by the EPICs, and GENI testbed efforts willl also be discussed.
S. J. Ben Yoo is Professor of Electrical Engineering at University of California at Davis (UC Davis). His research at UC Davis includes high-performance optical switching systems, nano photonic-electronic systems integration for next generation networking and computing systems. His recent demonstrations included optical label switching routers scalable to 42 Petabit/sec aggregate capacity with 1000 times improvement in performance/power efficiency and terabit flexible bandwidth networking. Prior to joining UC Davis in 1999, he was a Senior Research Scientist at Bellcore, leading technical efforts in optical networking research and systems integration. His research activities at Bellcore included optical-label switching for the next-generation Internet, reconfigurable optical networks, wavelength interchanging cross connects, wavelength converters, vertical-cavity lasers, and high-speed modulators. He also participated in the advanced technology demonstration network/multiwavelength optical networking (ATD/MONET) systems integration, and a number of standardization activities. Prior to joining Bellcore in 1991, he conducted research on nonlinear optical processes in quantum wells, a four-wave-mixing study of relaxation mechanisms in dye molecules, and ultrafast diffusion-driven photodetectors at Stanford University (BS’84, MS’86, PhD’91, Stanford University). Prof. Yoo is Fellow of IEEE and OSA, and a recipient of the DARPA Award for Sustained Excellence in 1997, the Bellcore CEO Award in 1998, and the Mid-Career Research Faculty Award in 2004 and the Senior Research Faculty Award in 2011 at UC Davis.
