摘要：
System-on-chip with photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and electricalintegrated circuits (ICs) can revolutionize communication, imaging, displays,sensors, and computing systems. Silicon PICs are a disruptive technology thatoffers a robust platform for integrating many optoelectronic and nonlinearphotonic elements on millimeter-sized silicon chips that are fueled byinnovative devices with compact sizes, high speeds, broad bandwidths, and lowpower consumption. The devices’ function and performance can be extended orenhanced by heterogeneous integration with other materials such as III-Vsemiconductors, polymers, and lithium niobate. In this talk, I will review thetechnical merits of silicon photonic devices and integrated circuits, whichhave benefited from high-index-contrast silicon waveguides; a high level ofintegration with various optical functions on the same chips; and maturecomplementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication techniques. Thesetechnical merits ensure silicon photonics’ position as a disruptive opticaltechnology that will achieve low-cost and compact on-chip systems for datacommunications and other applications. In particular, I will discuss siliconphotonic circuits for use in applications such as chip-scale optical interconnects,short-reach communications in datacenters and supercomputers, andmetro/long-haul optical transmissions.

摘要：
On-chip producing, controlling and detecting quantum states of light withlarge-scale silicon-photonic circuits opens the way to realizing complexquantum technologies for applications in the fields of computing,simulation and communication [1]. In this talk we present recent progresson large-scale silicon-photonic quantum technologies and applications, and discussroutes towards scalable quantum computing. We demonstrate a silicon-photonicchip integrating more than 550 components, able to generate,manipulate and measure high-dimensional entanglement with highcontrollability and universality [2]. Universal two-qubit operations have beenenabled recently by controlling a complex network of linear-optic devices[3]. A chip-to-chip quantum interconnect technology, allowing theentanglement distribution and teleportation between separated chips, has beendemonstrated going beyond a single-chip quantum system [4]. With the developedquantum photonic hardware it allows us to benchmark the simulationand characterizations of electron spin systems [5] and molecularsystems with photons [6]. These results show silicon-integrated quantumphotonic circuits as a versatile testbed for new quantum algorithms and as aroute towards large-scale quantum information processing, pointing the way toapplications in fundamental science and quantum technologies.

摘要：
The continuing growth in demand for bandwidth (from residential andbusiness users), necessitates significant research into new advancedtechnologies in future communication systems. Two specific technologies whichare becoming increasingly important for future photonic systems are wavelengthtunable lasers and optical frequency combs.
Although these topics have beenstudied for over two decades, their significance for future ultra-high capacityphotonic systems has only recently been fully understood. Wavelength tunablelasers are currently becoming the norm in optical communication systems becauseof their flexibility and ability to work on any wavelength. However, as theiroperating principles are different to standard single mode lasers, they can affecthow future systems will operate, e.g., as optical transmission systems movetowards more coherent transmission (where the data is carried using both theintensity and phase of the optical carrier), the phase noise in these tunablelasers will become increasingly important.
Optical frequency combs also have many applications for future photonicssystems, and they can be used to obtain the highest spectral efficiency inoptical transmission systems by employing the technology of optical frequencydivision multiplexing (OFDM), and also for generation of high frequency RFsignals in future 5G netwroks. Wavelength tunable lasers and optical frequencycombs are thus topics at the leading edge of current photonics systemsresearch, and their detailed understanding promises new applications inall-optical signal processing, optical sensing and metrology, and specificallytelecommunications.
This talk will focus on thedevelopment and characterization of various wavelength tunable lasers andoptical frequency combs, and then outline how these sources can be employed fordeveloping optical transmission systems and networks which make the best use ofavailable optical spectrum.
