Topics
Novel Materials, Nano-photonics and Processes
Topic Co-Chairs:
Laurent Vivien, Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N), France
Pablo Sanchis, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia
Novel materials and material combinations and structures that are enabling new functions, new properties or science, and nano photonic structures. Materials, structures, phenomena and devices that are still in an investigative stage, or that are not necessarily targeting specific application requirements. Examples include, but are not limited to, amorphous or disordered materials, 1D, 2D or 3D nanomaterials, phase change materials, functional oxides, ferroelectrics, photonic crystals, optical meta materials, plasmonics and their hybrids.
Photonic Devices
Topic Co-Chairs:
Daoxin Dai, Zhejiang University, China
Pavel Cheben, National Research Council (NRC), Canada
New device concepts ,fabrication processes, and characterization methods for group IV photonic devices. A broad range of device functionalities will be considered, including, but not limited to, on-chip light sources, high-speed modulation, photo-detection, optical coupling, filtering and routing, optical switching, polarization handling, wavelength and mode division multiplexing, meta material engineered devices, optical phased arrays, reconfigurable photonic devices, as well as devices aimed at sensing. Contributions should focus on specific device functionalities and innovations rather than complete systems; more complex circuits should be submitted to the integrated systems topic or the applications topic.
Electronic-Photonic Integrated Circuits and Systems
Topic Co-Chairs:
Haisheng Rong, Intel, USA
Gunther Roelkens, University of Ghent, Belgium
Submissions to this topic area should focus on the methods of electro-photonic integration and system building. This includes electronic and photonic co-design, hybrid and monolithic integration approaches, programable photonic systems, microwave photonics, and advanced assembling, packaging and testing solutions.
Industry
In this invite-only session, four distinguished speakers from industry will discuss established and upcoming commercial applications of silicon photonics.
Applications
Topic Co-Chairs:
Frederic Gardes, University of Southampton, United Kingdom
Xianshu Luo, Advanced Micro-Foundry, Singapore
Submissions to this topic area should be targeted at specific applications, such as data center, automotive, bio-medical, free-space communication, LiDAR, imaging, sensing, artificial intelligence, quantum photonics, astro-photonics, etc. The submissions can be related to emerging applications in existing application domains or entirely new application domains.
