WUHAN, China (May 20, 2016) - Wuhan Optoelectronics Forum No. 113 was successfully held in Auditorium A101 at Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) in the morning of May 20.
Silicon Photonics has demonstrated itself as a more efficient and lower cost on-chip optical solution for high speed optical communications, datacenter interconnections, and sensing technology. It is expected that a successful monolithic integration of silicon based photonic devices and microelectronic devices will lead to a significant "micro optoelectronics revolution". This presentation will start with an introduction to Silicon Photonics and its short history, then followed by a review on recent progresses in research and development of the devices, integrations, and applications. A future outlook on this new discipline will also be presented.
Zhiping (James) Zhou received his Ph.D. (EE) degree from Georgia Institute of Technology (GT), USA, in 1993. From 1993 to 2005, he was with the Microelectronics Research Center at GT, where he engaged research and development in the areas of nanotechnology; nanophotonic devices and sensors; ultra-fast optical communications; integrated optoelectronics; semiconductor devices and sensors; and vector rigorous diffraction analysis. He is now a “Changjiang” Professor at Peking University, Beijing, China, focusing on silicon photonics and microsystems research and development. He has been credited for over 400 technical papers and presentations.He is a Fellow of OSA, SPIE, and IET. He serves as Director of Chinese Optical Society (COS) and Chinese Society for Optical Engineering (CSOE), the funding Editor-in-Chief of Photonics Research, and is on OSA Board of Editors. He was funding Chair of IEEE Wuhan Section, 2007-2008, Director of IEEE Atlanta Section, 2001- 2003. He also chaired, co-chaired, and served on many program committees for various conferences for IEEE Photonics Society, OSA, SPIE, COS, and CSOE.
