Realizing efficient on-chip light sources has long been the “holy-grail” for Si-photonics
research. Several important breakthroughs were made in this field in the past few years. In …

Silicon does not emit light efficiently, therefore the integration of other light‐emitting
materials is highly demanded for silicon photonic integrated circuits. A number of integration …

In this paper, we present a brief history of silicon photonics from the early research papers in
the late 1980s and early 1990s, to the potentially revolutionary technology that exists today …

We demonstrate a III-V/silicon hybrid external cavity laser with a tuning range larger than 60
nm at the C-band on a silicon-on-insulator platform. A III-V semiconductor gain chip is …

Large-scale computer installations are severely limited by network-bandwidth constraints
and energy costs that arise from architectural designs originally based on copper …

The next generations of large-scale data-centers and supercomputers demand optical
interconnects to migrate to 400G and beyond. Microring modulators in silicon-photonics …

With the extraordinary growth in parallelism at all system scales driven by multicore
architectures, computing performance is increasingly determined by how efficiently high …

The trend of data center transceivers is to increase bandwidth while simultaneously
decreasing their size, power consumption, and cost. While data center links have previously …

Large-scale high performance computing is permeating nearly every corner of modern
applications spanning from scientific research and business operations, to medical …

The success of information technology has clearly demonstrated that miniaturization often
leads to unprecedented performance, and unanticipated applications. This hypothesis of …
