Topic：Integrated chip scale devices for enhancing light matter interactions: Technology, features and potential applications

Lecturer: Prof. Uriel Levy, Hebrew University of Jerusalem 

Place：Teaching Building 3,  Meeting Room 326 of Zhejiang University, Zijingang Campus

Time：3:00-4:00 p.m. 27th, May, 2018

Abstract：Motivated by the growing efforts for miniaturization, on chip nanoscale photonic and plasmonic based devices and systems are becoming a reality.  In this talk I describe our recent progress towards the construction of on chip passive and active devices based on silicon photonics and silicon plasmonics technologies. This effort includes the demonstration of plasmonic enhanced silicon photo detectors for the infrared, dielectric nanowaveguides and plasmonic devices for enhancing light-vapor interactions, and precise measurement capabilities with nanophotonics. Finally, I will discuss the potential of characterizing nanophotonic devices at the nanoscale using near field scanning probe thermal microscopy.
