Title：Silicon Photonics 硅基光电子学

Speaker：Prof. Zhiping Zhou 周治平教授 Peking University 北京大学

Venue: Meeting Room on the Third Floor, State Key Laboratory of Transient Optics and Photonics (SKLTOP)

ABSTRACT

Silicon photonics has a potential as a more efficient and lower cost optical solution for high density data communications in optical fiber system and computer system. It is expected that a successful monolithic integration of silicon based photonic devices and microelectronic devices will lead to a more significant "micro optoelectronics revolution" than the well-known "microelectronics revolution". From this point of view, this talk will present recent development in silicon based photonic devices, particularly, the attempts in reducing device size and energy consumption. Along the line, our own research on silicon based light sources, modulators, and other passive devices will also be presented and discussed.

BIOGRAPHY

Zhiping (James) Zhou received his Ph.D. (EE) degree from Georgia Institute of Technology (GT), USA, in 1993. He was a Founder and the Vice President of Production at Hengnan Transistor Factory in China (1971-1978) and a guest scientist of NIST in USA (1987-1989). He is a Fellow of SPIE, a senior member of IEEE, a member of OSA, and a life member of PSC.

From 1993 to 2005, he was with the Microelectronics Research Center at GT, where he engaged research and development in the areas of semiconductor devices and sensors; photonic devices and sensors; ultra-fast optical communications; integrated optoelectronics; nanotechnology; and vector rigorous diffraction analysis. From 2005 to 2008, he was with HUST as a “Changjiang” special professorship appointed by the Ministry of Education of China. He is now a “Changjiang” Professor at Peking University, Beijing, China. He is also an Adjunct Professor at School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of GT, USA. He has over 180 technical papers and presentations, and holds 9 patents.
