WUHAN, China (June 5, 2017) - Wuhan Optoelectronics Forum No. 126 was successfully held in Auditorium A101 at Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) in the morning of June 5. Prof. Tao Chu from Zhejiang University delivered an exciting talk entitled Silicon Photonic Devices. Dr. Jian Wang, from Optoelectronic Devices and Integration Division of WNLO chaired the forum. Prof. Xinliang Zhang, Deputy Director of WNLO, awarded Prof. Chu the forum medal.
Accompanying the rapid developments of the big-data society, novel technologies for constructing high-speed and low-power-consumption data processing and communication systems are highly demanded. Silicon photonic integration is widely regarded as one of the most promising ways in various applications, due to the low-cost and high-density-integration of silicon photonic devices. In this presentation, our researches on silicon photonic devices will be introduced, including silicon based laser, modulators, wavelength MUX/DeMUX, Mode MUX/DeMUX, polarization controller, EO/TO switches, photodetectors, with their designs, fabrications, measurements and future applications.
Prof. Tao Chu received the B.S. degree from Sichuan University, Chengdu, China, in 1991. He received the M. Eng. & D. Eng. degree and from Kyoto Institute of Technology, Kyoto, Japan, in 1999 and 2002. From 2003 to 2011, he worked in NEC Central Research Laboratories and National Institute of Advanced Industry Science and Technology (AIST), Japan, as a Principal Researcher and a Senior Manager, respectively, Tsukuba, Japan. In 2010, He was selected as a National Distinguished Professor of China. From 2011 to 2016, he worked in the Institute of Semiconductors, CAS, Beijing, China, as a CAS Distinguished Professor. In 2017, he joined the college of Information Science and Electronic Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, as a full professor and EPIC-Group Leader.
